What is the Highest you have ever been?

[Adamantium]

i did Mt. Whitney with my dad some 8 years ago, so that's ~14,500. looks like i'm going down to peru this summer tho, so that number may change.

[philippeR]

Likwid got the plane right. A Mk IX to be exact. Its real service ceiliing is actually like 48,000, which can be done safely, and has been done more than a few times I think. I figured I'd round up. Same difference right?.

You got to fly in a spitfire ? Any videos / pics ?

(And that should be around 12000' on skis for me).

[Jumper Bones]

On foot, 12,000 ft or so.

In the air...well I'm guessing in the 40s, but it was in an airliner. Unfortunately my airplane (C-17) doesn't do so good going much past 35k, especially with any payload aboard...

I got to go hypoxic at 30,000 or so, in an altitude chamber. That was fun.

19,340 feet. Summit of Kilimanjaro

[wildstyle]

500mg of mdma , 3 dots of acid, 500 mushrooms, 2 grams of speed, 3 bottles of jack daniels, untold amounts of beer and vodka and i still managed to cycle to the garage to get more fags and rizla.

12'680 ft aguilles du midi
44'000 ft BAE Hawk trainer

[Dam Skier]

Skied from the top of Cotapoxi (19,350') on Coco tea, and skied from the top of over forty 14'ers on the good green.

[reidhresko]

top of aconcagua 23K and change. skied it, bitches

[snowsprite]

There was that Dead show in 1982...

But aside from that, probably the top of Siberia bowl at Squaw. I know that's not high at all (what, like 10K?), but for a flatlander from the EC the air felt pretty thin up there. I even dry-heaved a bit before skiing down. Boo-ya!

[yooper]

12 or 13 for me... Whatever the summit of the highest ski area I've been at.. A-basin, probably.

However, my wife summited Pico De Orizaba in Mexico before we met. 18,500 or so.

[Brock Landers]

Top of A- Basin for me. Of course I had to fly in late the night before, drink my face off, and head up the next morning. Needless to say I could not breath at all

[Crass3000]

Just the top of Mount Elbert.

[half-fast]

13,796-top of mauna kea

on skis-probably the top of a-basin

[cdlv]

hiking: 13,063 Wheeler Peak
Skiing: top of baldy 11K

[SIIHP]

What's the highest peak elevation at a CO resort?

Did you hike or did you stay on lifts. If you stayed on lifts then Loveland at 13,010. If you hiked to the top of the east wall then A-basin at 13,050. But 40 feet doesn't make much difference really...

[Hombre215]

The highest I've ever been? Well...

I was freeclimbing Mt Vesuvius, when I suddenly lost my grip, so I'm falling and falling, and then I start to think. Hey, havent you been smoking peyote for the last six days, and isnt it a possibility that this is all in your head? And it turned out I was right. I've never even been to Mt Vesuvius.

**I actually have been to Mt. Vesuvius, although I think that mountain peaks at around 4100-4200 ft. Not so high.

[fez]

Mt. Biking, 16,500 feet, Punto olympico Peru (huascaran) Snowboarding, I dunno. Pretty high.

Edit: 30 accidental hits of (real) liquid, dead show, Saratoga Springs, 1985. I was convinced that during the break between drums/space, the band sacrificed a human every show, and at this show, i was the one. freaky.

haha, that was my first dead show! SPAC june 27, 1985

[corn dog]

Huayna Potosi, Bolivian Andes, 19,974' of just over 6000m mountaineering.

Me too. On skis just over 12k, summit of Mt Adams in Washington.

[goldenboy]

Just under 20,000 in Peru on foot
Elbert (14,433) on skis or bike
My condo sits at about 9500'

[Mulletizer]

You can get really fucking high in the gondola at La Grave...

[0BernhardFranz]

Aguille 12 700 or so ( ski ).But I was on top lifts Lech Val Disere and Engelberg, guys that is not so high, but Val was quit high ( ski ).
Whatever was highest day hike with Jap Kor Everest Expedition 91 from Namche - I don´t know how high we went ! Towards Ama Dablam sort of a ring walk.
Then I hiked straight up starting at 1 in Namche returning at 5 45 but I was 20 trained as crab and on pharmacy amphetamine big does and I tried to get as high as I could so maybe I crossed 5000 yards mark, hope not.I hiked Black Gunnison 800 m jogging up no stop.A cloud carpet descended on me so I had to flee staying 20 y of the clouds down so I could not get higher.Stones were grey not mossy I know that for a long time up if you know the area.Maybe it was 4000 y .Maybe it was 6000 y . I really don´t know.But I outhiked all expeditions on the way up and all sherps so i was damn fast.I might have gotten pretty high.I just can´t tell.

What can I say ?? "Vibes" all you high alt guys - now the bad story.My ma says brain damage over 4000 m mandatory.It´s nicer hiking around Namche.Or around our pond as my ma would say.Iceland was best and it is flat.

Talkin about drugs: Should not see the black and white pictures of the story like after swallowing 5 g of german grade hash that is many times US strength and packed with LSD etc, people went bad - so you call them druggies.Don´t take any illegal drugs I worked on LAPD to stop narcotics.Illegal amphetamine is very dangerous and does not have the health benefits of pharmacy described stuff.

[Steven S. Dallas]

14,411 on foot, and I guess Highlands Bowl is probably the highest I've been on skis- someone said 12.4K?

[SnowToad]

Altitude aside, I think that Bernhard is the undisputed winner of "highest maggot"

[adam]

18,000 ft on Mount Elbrus

[AbsolutStoli]

top of chair 8 at loveland or top of siberia bowl at vail...not sure which is the highest.

as far as the other thing, i had 2 friends in college who named their bong the tree of woe. the only time i ripped off it, i got soooooooooo high (although im a one hit wonder, so thats not saying much). i was hallucinating for the rest of that night...not sure if the pot was laced or if it just mixed ith the booze ive been drinking before or what...but it was trippy.

[Pinner]

Loveland at 13,010. A-basin at 13,050.

Silverton Mountain summit = 13, 487'
