Looks like it's good to go to 19,000+ feet. Need more red blood cells and oxygen carrying capacity. Pranayama helps in the lung department at high altitude. Kapalabhati, or skull shining, is a forceful exhale and passive inhale done rapidly in combination. This breathing increases oxygen and decreases carbon dioxide. Although it's not the high CO2 that's the problem at altitude, surely it couldn't hurt to increase oxygen by even the smallest amount.
