79 O2 and 75 HR

One of the things we do before going up the mountain is check oxygen saturation and heart rate. We have a baseline down here at Yanacocha Lodge.

Mine are 79 O2 saturation and 75 HR. My O2 varied from 78 to 83 while I was sitting down.

79?! In most settings that’d be far beyond the threshold where you’d need medical intervention for hypoxia. Please be careful.
