Considering you can drive to the top of some mountains in Colorado, yes everyone is fine. Oxygen is only for like 20,000 feet and up.

Spend a couple of hours at 14,100 if you're not acclimated and then tell me it's only for like 20,000 feet and up. I've seen men tough it out at 15,000' get seriously disoriented in fairly short order.

Jeff Duda @jeffdudaphdco.bsky.social

Correct. I regularly hike 14ers in Colorado (peaks above 14000 feet) and have not felt any clear loss of breathing ability on summits. If your cardio isn't super good and you're not used to such elevation, however, you will notice a slight thinness at such altitudes.

During WW1, 15,000ft was pretty much the ceiling for naturally aspirated engines and pilots without oxygen. The engines ran like bags of crap at that altitude, and the pilots were generally young and fit though.

Yep. I've driven a non-fuel injected Ford Fiesta at 15,272ft through Tajikistan's Ak-Baital Pass. The car still runs, but you lose a hell of a lot of power so it doesn't tackle inclines very well.

Marco "Zeitungsjunge" Tedaldi @zeitungsjunge.bsky.social

I think 10k' has quite some margin built in. But also keep in mind, that you reach 10000' within a few minutes in a plane (often from close to sea level) while you it takes you way longer by road to get up there. Giving your body more time to adapt.

Is paved road at 4700m (-15,400 feet)? From video, what trees grow at there? Hiked Mt Whitney California at 14,505 feet; from above 11,000 feet no trees - no shade from intense sun at altitude - that is, no trees of those populate the California high Sierras (eg, Sequoias, Sierra pines, aspens).

What's the elevation st the valley floor there? So, how much do those mountains rise from their base? I just checked and saw 15,000 and 23,000 feet for a couple of them. That's wild. Ours rise 6-8,000 feet in my county in Nevada.

Watch the video where the photographer discusses exactly that. Quite simply, the mountains anywhere else pale into insignificance. There's nothing quite like seeing the snowcapped cloud kissed mountains in the distance beyond fields of golden wheat while you're fishing in the Indus river.
