"Soroche" they call it in South America: shortness of breath, nausea, and a terrible banging headache, caused by ascending too quickly. Going above 5000m was a good way to quit smoking! :-) They say coca leaf tea can alleviate some of the symptoms but I didn't notice any change---it's not very strong stuff.
