Nice article. Bizarre how he thought a week's acclimatization would be enough. And so he kept falling over. I hope he puts 2+2 together.
A good lesson for us all, even if we're just going from sea level to 8,000ft. It doesn't really matter what your VO2Max is at sea level – high altitude is the ultimate equalizer.
