Not often I agree with 411A, however he is right to say you are taking a chance above 10k without O2. Depends quite a lot on individual fitness.

As far as I'm aware, the airport at La Paz is one reason why manufacturers set the masks to drop at a cabin alt of 14,400ft. From experience, don't stand up to quickly when disembarking there!!
