The following year, 96, was that really bad year for Everest...wasn't it? Not only from that movie they made about it...but I thought they also have some avalanches that killed folks in the base camps.
I can say, for as bad as it was at Titicaca (altitude wise) I'm not sure I'd want, or actually be able to go much higher. Walking 100 feet felt like running a few miles.
