Acute Mountain Sickness is a serious issue. You either pop in a Diamox and take preventive measures, or you nip it in the bud when you see symptoms.

He has seen it go from AMS to HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema) and he has managed to rescue trekkers. Having been affected by it himself, he sure knows how to avoid it now.
