I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to climbing, but that does seems dangerous.

Altitude effects take time to set in. If you go in and out fast they should be negated.
Steve House and his Alpine style of climbing are a perfect example of this. He does huge technical routes in an incredibly short period of time.
