I experienced bad AMS on Langley coming too quickly from sea level and rushing up Army Pass, but pressed slowly to the summit, resting about a minute every 10 steps. More water may have helped as my thirst seemed unquenchable back down at Cottonwood Lakes. Another time my lungs felt strange and I began to wheeze a bit while running up Dana (above 13,000 feet) after one night at Tuolomne Meadows coming from sea level. Taking it slow and acclimatizing gradually seems wise based on my experiences.

Re: Sort of done that.You are right taking it properly "easy" may prevent or even eliminate the symptoms.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
