It depends on how acclimatized you are. Some people in Tibet live above 13,000 with no ill effects. Other people would have difficulty in functioning, and some may actually die from HAPE, High Altitude Pulmonary Edema within hours, or days.

At 13,000 feet, the time of useful consciousness without supplemental oxygen is around 30-60 seconds. This is the amount of time an individual can function effectively without experiencing symptoms of hypoxia due to decreased oxygen levels at that altitude.
