That is consciousness.

So you're consciously attentive to your breath and while you're ascending, you're maybe taking deeper breaths, more frequent breaths.

So you're not letting your autonomic nervous system regulate your breathing.

You are in control of your breathing.

Yes, that is consciousness.

Consciousness is breathe more than you feel you need.

That makes you conscious.

And then you feel when the deficit is coming in, you compensate with a deeper breathing.

And it is not frenetic.

It is not paranoid.

That is not the way you go.

Just a little bit more creates that consciousness that knows how to detect any deficit that is going to happen.

And if you just pass that deficit and it never occurs, you can just simply walk to the top.

You know, my wife and I have a, we have a home in Colorado that's at 10,500 feet.

We have a log cabin.

It's our favorite place in the world.

And the first few days that I'm there, I always- 33% less oxygen tension in the air.

Yeah, yeah.

I think it's 13.7%, something like that.

Atmosphere or sea level, it's what, 21%.
