I understand you're not supposed to increase campsite altitude by more than 2000 feet per day. How true is this?
Planning a hike and due to how we're starting it there is about 4,300 feet of difference between the first campsite at 2k feet and second at 6,200 feet.
After ascending we'll have two days of fairly non-strenuous hiking before taking on more challenging stages.
How concerned should I be about altitude sickness at these heights? And is ascending your campsite too fast that big of a deal? Any tips?
