Short hike but high altitude. For you, starting from the low altitude - everything should be fine. Listen to your guide and keep yourself warm.
Its awaited and heart touching view. Yes, altitude might bother you. But not as much as for those who flew in to Lukla. You as a EBC Pikey Peak hiker, should be on the benefit at this point.
