Actually, I believe the limit for flying without supplemental oxygen is 12,500'.
You're only allowed a half hour between 10,000' and 12,500', though. Any longer than a half hour, or any higher than 12,500', and oxygen is required.
EDIT: Oops... double checked, and the upper limit is actually 13,000'.
