All good advice, but I'm tryin ta cheat, here.

Buy my way to an extra day above treeline.

Can supplemental oxygen, supplied by a 1 pound device, help me cover more ground climbin from 7-10k feet, under load?

I'm a cheap bastard, but if the $ is right, I'll probably just buy one, to see what happens next summer.
