It was amazing, and once is enough. That is a tough one, in the thin air. I did 
feel nauseated above 10,000 feet, and that lasted a little while. Anything over 
a snail's pace during the climb is impossible. Did the R/T in 3:15, even so. 
Started at 7:15-ish, with about twenty people on the trail, total. The final 
push is up very loose rock, with a bad fall a step away. The surprise was how 
cold it was - 50 or so - numb finger tips from that, and the altitude. Didn't 
need climbing gear, except a hiking stick, and good shoes.
