Luckily we had no serious cases. The best cure is prevention - by ascending an average of only 1500ft or so per day of the expedition https://t.co/IFz6JQRacJ

@AmericanAscent @BLKPublicMedia Did anyone experience altitude sickness? If so, how did you overcome this during your trip?

[An American Ascent @AmericanAscent]

Really helps to get ppl excited about the outdoors when young and are groups like @TheSEEDSchoolDC @NOLSedu (and many more) are doing this https://t.co/Bf6zkQ73eU

[Black Public Media @BLKPublicMedia]

That's an excellent question!! Maybe get more young people involved. @TheSEEDSchoolDC. #AfroPoPdocs. https://t.co/8e7CuEwgkV
