The Importance of Altitude in Climbing

Jeff thought it was due to the fact he'd had been sick on the approach in when we were hiking into a scully. My personal thought is Jeff had struggled on other climbs with altitude. He didn't seem to have altitude to climb ties quite as well. The team had come too far. We actually did make an attempt and we got another pitch about the hard rock pitch. When watching Jeff go up, trying to joom up thehard rock pitch, he was just clear that he couldn't,. That he couldn't function and we couldn't take the risk.
