Altitudes are read from this trip's own itinerary — 4 of 4 days state one, and a day that does not is shown at the altitude of the day before, which is what an acclimatisation day is. The mountain itself is real: 3 of the days carry coordinates, and the ground under the route is SRTM elevation data for that place.
