"Has anyone ever tried taking balloons or big zip lock bags* of low elevation air up to Mauna Kea, and on the last part of the drive inhaled the oxygen rich(er) air from the balloon or bag every 5 or 10 minutes, to possibly reduce the effects of altitude sickness? Do you think it would work?"
Given my experience of what happens to packets of chips on the way up the mountain, I doubt very much a balloon will survive the trip!
