I'm impressed that you dealt with the altitude so quickly. Going from 500' to 10,000' & then riding up to 14,000+ within 3 days is not something that everyone can do.

When I was out there a couple of years ago, I was hiking at 12,000' and was fine. But a couple of days later, I was up on Pikes Peak at 14,000' and had some problems. I was really surprised at the difference between 12,000 and 14,000.
