Smoke a bowl in front of some mormons and gotta insanely high. Wait, are we talking drugs or mountains?

**TeleHoar** · 12-20-2006, 04:44 PM

Skied off of a couple of 14'rs.

Then in Dallas once I was on coke, shroomers, smoking the chronic and then took a hit of nitrous. Pretty sure that was as high as one guy could get.

Silverton Mountain summit = 13487'

I've skied from 14000'+ several times, slept at 15700' and walked to 16354'.

I used to think it was some sort of badge of honor, but it's really not. 20000'+ is worth talking about. Lower than that, meh.

The highest I've been is (allegedly) somewhere around 17,000 (allegedly because we had no maps, no altimeters and only the word of the local on height - although it fits with other info I have on the area), in the Andes. And on skis, around 14,500 in the Himalaya. Weirdly, in the Andes I was fine with the altitude, in India I was weak. Then again, they didn't have coca in India. Less high ontwo counts.

5,897 m (19,347 ft) climbing. Skiing... I dunno.

**bullhorn** · 12-20-2006, 04:47 PM

A bit over 20K on a failed solo attempt of Langtang in Nepal. Had to abort due to Giardia with the stinky-stinky from every hole in my body.

Can we please have a few more posts joking about the multiple definitions of the word "high?" Thanks!

**TeleHoar** · 12-20-2006, 04:52 PM

You know that sign on the ladders that says" do not stand above this step"...?
well I did.
I stood on the very top step and I am here to talk about it today.

On snow, oh prolly 14,000 and change.

**skier666** · 12-20-2006, 05:11 PM

Mt. Evans in Colorado is probably my highest at 14,264 ft. Top of Denali 20,320 ft for the Mrs., but she also went to Aconcagua 22,835 ft but turned around because my father-in law was ill.

**ECbum** · 12-20-2006, 05:14 PM

Somewhere near the border of Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile...17,500.

Had one of those jeep tours out of San Pedro drop me off for three days of trekking around solo, walking up the side of volcanoes, getting freaked out and slowly coming back down.

Bottle of wine at 17,000ft...pretty "high"

**Jer** · 12-20-2006, 05:32 PM

About 22k on foot.

**Tri-Ungulate** · 12-20-2006, 05:35 PM

On foot, somewhere around 20,000, turned around in zero visibility conditions on Huascarán.

With skis on, somewhere around 16,500, unnamed peak in the Himalaya.

**homerjay** · 12-20-2006, 05:39 PM

19,500-ish on foot

"got high" at 15K

**flowtron** · 12-20-2006, 05:42 PM

I don't get high, I get......smalllll.

**jonesy** · 12-20-2006, 05:53 PM

Now by this time I'm plenty high,
you know when your mouth a-getting dry you're plenty high.........

Now Jack, when he went out to face Pete
For the final showdown
He was just a little bit high
He'd been drinking and smoking
And he thought he was so fast
He made the last move
And that was the last move he made
Bad, bad news, he was bad, bad news

**brutah** · 12-20-2006, 05:56 PM

**telepariah** · 12-20-2006, 06:03 PM

Dropped acid at Brainard Lake and hiked up Apache Peak. Ate pancakes slathered with marijuana butter and smoked about 20 joints at a harvest party in Boulder. But the highest I've ever been? That would have to have been the Argent/Mahavishnu Orchestra concert at Saratoga in 1972. The only thing I remember is that my ears actually hurt it was so fucking loud but I didn't care. I think I was drinking peach brandy, smoking gold columbian, and tripping on acid. Then there was the tower on the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. That felt pretty high even though I was totally straight and it wasn't.
