Don't overanalyze. People were fit at all altitudes before supplements or training were invented.

As TR says, if you are in shape before you go, you will have no trouble.
Also, a common misconception that there is less O2 at altitude. There is just as much O2 at 18,000 feet as there is at Sea Level, there is just less pressure to get it into your lungs.
