If you deposit someone on the summit of Mount Everest (elevation 29,028 feet, 8852 m) by helicopter they will pass out and die within several minutes. Yet, if a climber gradually ascends to the summit over a period of weeks, they remain alert and can perform meaningful physical work. This is possible because the extended time on the mountain gives the body time to adapt to the low oxygen conditions. - Luks, M.D, UWSOM Pulmonology
