3K is not all that big of a deal. If you are in decent shape (13ish 2 miler / 3 hour 12 miler) then you prolly won't even really notice after about 12-24 hours. Above 5k it really starts and above 10K can be deadly if you are not acclimatized. Anything other than being in decent fighing shape will not really do anything for you because of the physiological changes that need time (and only time will work really). PT at altitude seemed to help me whenever I went up, but I don't know if it was more psycological for me than physical....... Just the .02 of an old mountaineering instructor........
