Q

You are in Denver (mile high city) on a beautiful VAVU (ceiling and visibility unlimited) day. Weather Channel reports the barometric pressure as 30.40 inches of mercury (which is not the actual real outside pressure but is corrected to sea level). You decide you are going to take a day trip to visit the top of Pike’s Peak (altitude -14,000 ft). What is the approximate air pressure at the summit (normal lapse rate below 18,000 ft is 1 inch loss per 1000 ft, altitude) and is there the possibility you may develop high altitude edema dyspnea after staying at the summit for several hours?
