Wow, you blokes have reinvented the mile high club. My wife is now very nervous.

I have climbed Elbert, 14,440, but I know many people who have climbed Kilmanjaro. I am pretty sure I could handle that. I think once you get to Aconcagua you start to suffer serious oxygen depletion, huh?

19000 and something feet, cordillera blanca. most of my goals are there too; hoping to go back and get higher in the summer of 05.

14,500, (Mt. Whitney's new summit elevation according to recent info.) Ran the last quarter mile to see what it felt like at that elevation - won't be doing that again! Just about passed out.

Gotta get down to south america one of these days....

the highest one :

. toubkal in morroco : 4167 m
. glacier blanc inf france : 4080 I guess

target -> not the highest but the top road to the top

Highest summit reached : <A HREF="http://www.summitpost.org/show/mountain_link.pl/mountain_id/563">Pumori</A>. 7,161m (23,494ft).

Highest altitude reached : 7,800m (25,500) on Everest.

Any update?

The highest I've been is Mount Elbert. I have no desire to go higher.

Highest i've been is 19,872 feet (6,057 meters) in Peru.
I have some future objectives that are higher in Alaska and South America.

Someone has to represent the Kili crowd
Highest: Kilimanjaro, 19340', 5895m
Future higher plans: Aconcagua in '06, Chimborazo (try #2), Island Peak (someday), Peak Lenin (someday later)

Highest is 22,841 (Aconcagua) several around 20K and fourteeners in the states. Mount Rainier the end of the month, Hopefully Denali next spring. I seem to really feel the oxygen scarcity above 18,500.

Personally, for me its 6700M (22500ft+) but don't really care about how high I can go unless its a good technical climb and if the objective is gorgous, all the better. For me thats why I'll be in Nepal in the fall to do Ama Dablam (not a hard objective but damn gorgous) and then a significantly harder, gorgous peak at a lower altitude.

Have to agree, there are beautiful mountains in Canada (the Waddington Range, the Candian Rockies), Alaska, the Alps and in Peru and Argentina, which are all more affordable then the "Greater Ranges".

As for me I like to explore what I percieve is my limit (and my perception is usually wrong) usually in a technical or mental sense. I've always been an endurance junkie so my mind is pretty open to not having limits there.

Let's save this old thread...

Highest thus far was Denali, and while I have plans to go higher (Chimborazo in July '08 ) I have more anticipation for a summit of Gannett Peak (TBD). Climb on!
