... and then there's they guy from the thread a month or two ago that said
that since he was barely affected (aside from a bit of shortness of breath) when doing
manual labor in an unpressurized plane climbing to 25,000 ft that all the hype about
being "noticably affected" below 15,000 was bull****.

Again I call bull****.

Unless you are moderately active in excercise and live in the rockies at 5000
feet or higher, or are a particularly unusual person, you WILL be impaired at 10k for
any time longer than a few minutes. Hypoxia is insideous.
