Nauesa and loss of appetitie was my expeirence, had mild headaches. I seemed to get over it pretty quickly though I still expeirenced a lack of appetite and often found it neccessary to force myself to eat even though I didn't feel like it. Occassionaly had mild headaches but found they were mostly associated with the highly dehydrating conditions.

The inital symptons began around about 4000 metres but with acclimitisation I found that 6000+ metres didn't cause any further problems. Obviously being at altitude causes problems no matter who you are, the degree to which you are affected varies however. Other companions struggled from about 2500 metres and bever seemed to improve and couldn't climb above 4000 metres no matter how much acclimitisation they did.

I would agree with Pretzel though that returning to near sea level gave you the superman effect. Great feeling.

The other thing I found was that in the inital stages of acclimitisation it was difficult to stay warm, perhapd due to lack of oxygen efficiency.

Hope the research goes well. Cheers
