With the exception of wind burned faces and this small blister, we both have managed to avoid any serious injuries. I am still not feeling 100% and am beginning to wonder if my ataxia (loss of balance) at the top was due to an allergic reaction to a Diamox pill I had taken twenty minutes earlier. It was my first dose ever of this drug which is supposed to improve the bloods ability to carry oxygen at high altitude. In the end it does not matter, Charles made the correct decision to send me down as continuing to ascend would have been life threatening in either scenario (AMS or Diamox reaction).
