Answer
I have no experience with high elevation. i can offer no advice at all. I'm sorry. :(


Wow. you gave me terrible feedback that says I wasn't polite or clear in my answer. I am sorry that you feel that way. I am just a volunteer who is trying to help people. When someone does something like you just have it makes me wonder why I bother. :(
