A taste from the guide

The percentage of oxygen in the air stays 20.9% at any altitude: what changes is the pressure, and with it the oxygen that actually reaches your lungs. At 5,000 m each breath gives you almost half the oxygen of sea level. Understanding how the body adapts is the difference between a safe climb and altitude sickness.
