What happens when acclimation occurs? 



Regardless of the physical stamina and endurance of an individual, 

acclimation is a serious physiological barrier in high altitude 

activity.  Yet, some individuals appear to acclimatize much easier 

and more efficiently than others?  What is it about the human body 

that allows some individuals to work so efficiently while others 

seem to never get above 10,000 without losing their lunch!
