Yeah, get a new one and a bigger one. If you are on a budget then go to autozone, they have decent ones for about $60-$70 that are around 1000 CCA. Next step up is Interstate and Bosch at around $100 and the gold standard is the M-B OE battery from the dealer...it's probably around twice that by now. Change the battery and see how you do starting it at altitude. You need to be able to spin that engine faster to generate heat and compression under extreme conditions...a small battery just won't cut it.
