In reply to Ray. After a few days the effects do wear down quickly; though at the top I was definitely searching for my breath! Amazing views though, enjoy your trip to the top :)

I am climbing it Friday. I have been staying a week in Quito at 9200ft. After 3 days or so, I no longer had breathing/tingling problems. I will see how it goes further up. I have been up the mont-blanc before with no big deleterious effects other than being tired pretty quickly.

In reply to Wendy-Escape NY. I admit I had trouble looking down from the cable car myself but well worth it :)

I’m afraid of heights but would love to do this anyway. Great post.

In reply to Heather on her travels. Thanks for the tip. I'll keep it in mind, looking to buy in the next month or so.
