Thanks - I have been offered a rain jacket by a local. It'll be too big for me, but in that case maybe I'll just cover my daypack too, which isn't bad. Belt /strap with poncho usually reduces wind-initiated flapping, but up there, winds are probably too much for that method. Maybe too much for Frogg Toggs generally (which is what the poncho is).
- not going to get on Agassiz, at least not purpose. Humphreys is plenty enough to attempt for me.
- hair sticking up as an early warning system - unfortunately that won't help me.
Maybe I'll still feel a sensation, though? [arms]
- I do have 2.5 days in Flag prior to heading up, so hopefully that should help with acclimation. Are any headache meds better than others for mild altitude sickness? I can choose from ibuprofen, naproxen, and acetaminophen. For anything beyond mild, I will probably turn around.
