I have to disagree with you there, Wanabee. At that altitude even 100% oxygen won't give you the partial pressure that you need. OK, you MAY be able to retain consciousness, but to get enough O2 to function properly, you need a pressure mask. Wingswinger has it right. We were allowed 35000' for a limited period using 100% oxygen.
