Ok,being a bit of a noob hiker, and considering the stuff I usually have on hand, I would have to say that MAYBE the problem is dehydration. Now by 3gal/day is that 3 a person or 1.5? Really, 2 gallons would be kosher, and since he's sleeping in a bag that is probably too warm (at least for me) he is probably loosing a lot of liquid. The altitude gain probably isn't helping. My best guess on what to do would be to drink more fluids immediately, then consider moving to a lower altitude. I could be way off, but hey, its a learning experience.
