The need for supplemental O2 is an interesting one. How and why did they choose 10,000 or 12,500 PA as the cutoff? Why not 8,000? Which is the cabin altitude limitation of pressurised aircraft. Or why not say 19,000? which about the height of Mt Kilimanjaro which hundreds of trekkers ascend every day.
