Is Rainier considered high altitude mountaineering? Not slaggin' on ya, just curious.
Fair question, and while it might be directed at the person who mentioned Mt. Rainier, perhaps I should clarify or change my question to: What you can keep down either at high altitude or when going through gain of altitude that has an effect on your ablility to keep things down? Altitude is a relative thing. Some people get sick on Rainier, other only yack above 18,000. After all, it is not the elevation you get sick at, but whether you're having the most fun doing so, that determines if you're the best climber.
