No, it would be harder to breathe on top of Mount Whitney (or any other mountain) do to the air being thinner. The thin air at higher elevations has less oxygen in it than at sea level (air at 10,000 to 14,000 ft has only 60-70 percent of the amount of oxygen in the air at sea level). Therefore with each breath you don't get much oxygen.
