It says 11500 ft/day but you've talked about 25000' (7620m)/day. I don't understand you
My bad, I misread the note. Rick and Michael "walked" the 25000' --they started at night, and finished pretty late in the day (they caught the last tram down).

radson, Wouter asked for elevation gained/day. Did you climb Kinabalu, Mount Cook or Fuji starting at 0 meters

That's why I quote accumulated gain, not net gain.

I agree this is the way to go, but I don't have a fancy tool that tracks this automatically for me and I can't be bothered to go over maps and try to figure out how much I gained/lost, if that could give you remotely accurate data anyway. I see a lot of people quoting 24hours as a day, but for me a day is pretty much six hours. As I said, I usually don't take any real breaks and keep a high pace, so I feel six hours more than does it. Since this far it's been winter ski ascents, my nights have been quite long too.
