Diamox is helpful, but definitely did not stop the AMS from setting in. In addition to camping at Outpost one night and then going to 13K and back down to 12K to camp the next night, he slept on top of Baldy at 10,064 for two nights on succesive weekends prior to our summit. AMS didn't kick in until probably Trail Crest or so. I would be curious next time we do this to see if we could handle using Trail Crest as a two night base camp instead of Outpost, if we can manage to get in a couple of nights up on Baldy first.
However high you get, enjoy. If symptoms set in, get low. I have ignored that advice before and was very sorry I did.
