it makes alittle sence, but then again, i think people that smoke would have a harder time due to not have good lungs

After smoking weed every second day or so for a while I started having trouble breathing when exercising. I climbed Mt Warning and I could feel my lungs weren't like they used to be and decided to cut WAY down on smoking. I'll have a joint like once a month now and make a canasoup or canasmoothie instead of smoking

That's awesome dude. I've never done it myself, but since the air is so thin, I imagine it would be harder to breath the higher you get, right? That's fuckin badass. You grab any pics man?
Yep, there's an exponential decrease in air density as you go up in altitude. At 14,000 feet I'm only breathing 40% as much air as you folk at sea-level. You literally get winded walking on level ground, it's really quite a trip.
For example, this is the final stretch to the summit for my climb yesterday;
Looks relatively tame, no? Well in reality you're gasping for air and stopping to catch your breath even on that stuff, so the part of the climb where it's a 40% grade is just fucking killer. I'm addicted

That's crazy dude. Definitely seems like a very physically taxing activity, but really fun and thrilling at the same time. Closest mountains to me are like 4-6 hours away, but they're nowhere near as tall as those I don't think. Feel free to post any more pics you might have laying around.
