I would like to leave here an advertisement.
I'm looking for subjects for my research project, about "Anxiety and Cognitive Orientation in Alpinist".
The reason why I am writing here is due to the fact that I would like that you would contact me if you do ascensions up to 2500m or upper and will be willing to participate as a subject for my research please leave a note here saying how I can reach you in a private e-mail account so that I can send you my questionnaires. I'm trying to get more questionnaires for this research. If you know any friend who will do it and, won't mind taking my questionnaires to fill them up, please let them know.
Those questionnaires have to be filled up before an ascension!!
The questionnaires do not identify the person.
Regards, Dalila.
PS- I appreciate all the help you can give me on this matter.

2500m routes in elevation. As my study is considering high mountains, I am considering routes which go up to 2500m or higher.
Only for the case of doing any route up to a mountain which has this hight or even higher would be appropriate to reply my questionnaires.
Thank you for your interest, if you think you can give me a help on this and take part as a subject for my research, please let me know and, I'll send you the questionnaires.
Cheers, Dalila.

Isn't 2500m approximately 8,200ft. Not really "high mountains" imo.
However I do frequent the elevation and live at 7'900ft. Drop me a PM if you'd like me to participate.

Hi Dalila
2500m Isn't high at all. We live in Johannesburg South Africa and we are at about 1800m elevation. I think high altitude considerations only start at above 4500m (More or less, I stand for correction).

In reply to: For those who will be interested in checking out this website http://www.mountaineering.ie/features/general/highaltitude.htm There you can see how mountains are considered to be a medium, high or extreme altitude. My study is considering the high altitude or extreme as on these altitudes (from 2500m - above) it's normally needed an adaptation process. Regards, Dalila.
Funny report, it says that "Acclimatisation is NOT possible above 5300m". Tell that to the guy that spent a couple of months in the summit of Aconcagua at 6,962 mts. (22,840 ft.). Check it out at : http://www.aconcaguaexpeditions.com/ingles/8/anecdotas.htm
BE CAREFUL WITH EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE NET. The guys above are right: 2500 m. is not high at all. 5000m. and above is usually considered high altitude, at least among climbers and not some scientists in a lab doing blood tests.

I don't know how much faith I have in a study on alpinists when the author isn't able to convert meters to feet.

When I pasted www there I was only referring to the table which considers the height of mountains to be medium, high, extreme...not about the rest of the study. Apart from the rest, I'm not here to talk about the Physiological aspects of a Human being adaptation in altitude...so, I do not care about what scientists do on labs (for this case). That table is the one considered world while and, if you don't agree with that, than you can either say whatever you fell like or simply propose another qualification. Maybe the rest of the World will follow you...
