Oh man. Just did some Googling of Ataxia and I would have to say the odds are pretty good he was Ataxic.

Obviously I am not qualified to diagnose such a thing, I had never even heard of it until just now. I should also point out that even prior to his slurred speech he seemed to me to not really understand how to place his feet while walking.

So it is hard to say or even identify just when things got worse for him. However I am pretty certain that at the time I noticed it (above 12,000) he was definitely walking like a drunk, had a wide stance, and slurred his speech when we talked to him.
