I have been climbing in the Himalayas on an expedition to Cho Oyu which is a 14,000 meter peak just west of Everest. I got sick at around 20,000 ft and had to go down. The highest peak I have climbed was Cerro Aconcagua (nearly 23,000 ft) by the difficult Polish Glacier route. That climb took 3 weeks start to finish and I lost 25 lbs in weight on the climb.
