Test yourself before you go. We can help predict how you’ll cope on the mountain.

The main test for AMS at altitude is low blood oxygen saturation. Some climbs, such as Aconcagua won’t allow you on the mountain unless your blood oxygen saturation is above a certain level.

We can simulate any chosen altitude up to 6,500m (22,000ft). We constantly monitor your blood oxygen saturation via pulse oximetry to see how you are coping.

We can then cross reference your results with a scientific study by Burscher et al. published in High Altitude Medicine & Biology in 2004

A total of 150 subjects known to suffer from AMS tested their SaO2 values at various simulated altitudes. The test was matched against non AMS suffers. Conclusion, SaO2 measurement is a good indicator to AMS susceptibility.

We will plot you on the same graph to give you an indication of your susceptibility.
