Altitudes's a problem. There's no way I can get there more than a couple of days in advance. So not enough time for any meaningful acclimitization. Some research I've seen actually suggests if you don't have a week or more to acclimitize, you should get to altitude less than 24 hours before, so some of the negative effects don't set in before the event, and you're not giving up any acclimitization because 3 days or so doesn't help anyway.

Fortunately at 10,000 feet for a high point its not like we're talking about climbing Everest.
