I've never suffered from altitude sickness. The highest I've been is 11,000 feet (Mt. Hood), and I routinely go to almost 9000 feet every summer. I was raised at 3500 feet, and I think we live at about 1800 feet now. Don't you live at sea level? That would explain your difficulty with altitude. Years ago a fellow from a Portland TV station came out to interview me in the field. A year or so later he went on an expedition to Everest and died there of altitude sickness. I don't think he was a climber, but even the base camps up there are high. I've been getting my pulse up to about 150 bpm, which is a little too high according to the physical therapist. I like to push myself, and I'm carrying so much extra weight that it goes up pretty fast.
