[QUOTE="Rogue, post: 2334979, member: 6642"] Canned "Rescue" O2 is a very [B]BAD[/B] idea!!!!! I've lived in Colorado most of my life. Fortunately altitude has never bothered me. As a medical professional and an avid hiker/climber I've pulled well over 50 people off the mountain who relied upon that canned O2 until it ran out. The sudden decrease in O2 can be very dangerous especially if you are still high on the mountain with a long descent ahead. Best to arrive early and acclimate to altitude properly. The "Best" treatment for altitude sickness is to descend. [/QUOTE]
