4500 meters = 13,500 ft

OK, I'll give you that one. Momentary math error - ran out of fingers
converting from obsolete measurements to modern ones.

13,500' is high enough to be serious headache territory.

If you're starting from sea level, even 8,000 feet is sometimes enough
of a change to be edema territory (certainly headache territory), even
for experienced climbers who've previously not had problems with
altitude sickness(even when they were over 20,000 feet without O2).

If you've been living at 5,000 feet or so, then 8,000 shouldn't be
significant.

And that's my $.02,

Frank
