2. stay hydrated
3. when looking at a map, "left" is west and "your other left" will be east

Then he will turn to the highly prized unicorn Warrant and say, Chief what’s this??

this guy was found a week later, severely dehydrated and with that same smile on his face...
I agree with most of these posts, hydration is key. As far as coffee, or other caffeinated drinks (mine is Diet Coke, not coffee), you will want to take some Aspirin with you. Not only does it help in general, but if you go cold turkey on caffeine, a good idea at altitude, you'll probably get withdrawal headaches. Aspirin is a great option here.

Update: crested 12k feet today with only a little light headedness! Definitely felt a little dizzy and my ears have become plugged and released all day! ! But nothing more! Actually camping at 10k’ tonight and feel great!
hummm...either altitude sickness or you ended up at a Diddy party...

Drove 5 hours to the Telluride area. We found a great cut thru trail and Sad to say but we had to come down from our fabulous perch last night at 0245. I couldn’t sleep and had a major headache! It was a bad one. So we tried to find a place lower but nothing dispersed anywhere. We ended up at Matterhorn Camp. We reset the truck, filled with water and had a nice shower and ate breakfast!!! Then the camp host said, we didn’t have to pay!! Blessings for sure!
I am feeling much better but it is definitely no joke at altitude! I think it was mainly sinus issues as my ears were plugged all day yesterday. But being cautious, I tap!!
