I hiked up Mt Elbert when it was 14,433', then again a few years later after it was upgraded to 14,440'. I once rode the highest lifts at Breckenridge (12,800'), Loveland (12,600') and A-Basin (12,400'?) in the same week. I'm so amazing...
Once when we were going partying into NYC, a buddy turned me on to a hit of acid and then without my knowledge slipped me two more. That along with a nights worth of drinking and smoking the weed stuff had me flying!
Jackson Peak at 13,517... (Summer and Winter)

Other California notables include:
White Mtn = 14,246,
Mt. Shasta = 14,162
Mt.Williamsson = 14,375 (a nice little 1 hour [with pee breaks included] run from Whitney)
Likewise Denali (Mount McKinley) was resurveyed in 1989 and the height was listed as 20,306'.
Just a few shy of the oft reported 20,320'.
Was Whitney re-sized?
Pictures please. Loved to read the story - route, time of year, conditions, etc.Quote:

For example - from Wiki on Mt. Whitney - "The peak is commonly thought to be 14,494 feet high." But that's wrong. Since 1930, the peak is commonly thought to be 14,496.811' based on the summit survey marker.
Thanks a lot !!!Quote:

Don't have any decent pics, since I haven't owned a digi cam till just recently. I'll probably post a flying TR at some point this summer. We don't really fly it in the winter.
My dad is trying to sell a half ownership in it, because he really needs the money. I really hope that doesn't happen. It would break my heart.

October, 1981 - Folsom Field, Rolling Stones concert.
Rode a bike over the divide in RMNP, but can't remember the name of the road (probably due to after effects of the Stones concert). Tried Mt. Evans on a bike once but didn't quite make it to the top. Went down in an ambulance (that was fun!).
