I worked in Denver for the end of 2020 and almost all of 2021. That altitude is no joke even at Denver's altitude. First week had me re-thinking my decision making skills after taking the stairs at the office.While it's not quite the same, some guys from my Army unit got to Ft. Carson in Colorado, and we had a free day on day 3. Went up Pikes Peak and had a competition to see who could run the furthest. None of us made it very far. Altitude is no joke, especially for some kids who have probably never been 500ft above sea level outside of a pressurized aircraft.
Went up to top of Mt. Evans, roughly 14,265′ , and it was a whole different experience.
