RE: The Highest I've Ever Been: Aiguille du Midi Chamonix France

in Worldmappinlast year

Thats awesome! Crazy good views.
I have only been to 3000m myself, also in France. I will be traveling to the US, colorado in a few weeks and one of the mountains is Pikes Peak that I want to visit and can actually drive a car up there. It's 4300m in height and I'm a bit worried about altitude sickness.

Sort:  

That's very hight to drive a car up. Wow. That's impressive.

Yeah prior to this the highest I had been was 2970 meters. I hiked it though so it was pretty challenging. I got a little bit of altitude sickness near the end.

Did you feel anything @3800 when you went up there?

Not really. But we were only up there for under 2 hours and we didn't do any activity really - not a lot of walking, or stairs or anything. It would be different if we stayed longer and if we were hiking or walking or climbing up on the mountain.
