As a part of my 3 week planned August CT hike (ie Salida to Durango) I just gots to know if I can count on my simple can alcohol stove to perform efficiently at altitudes in the San Juans. It made the grade at 10,000 ft along the JMT. ;)

I have used an alchy stove at 13k ft in October FWIW.

Used mine at 8500 last week and no worries. That was my first question when I walked into my first CO gear shop when I moved here 4 years ago. I have used it up to 12,000 ft since I've been here and have no apprehension that it will work up to 14k if needed.
