Discussion What's the highest elevation you've WALKED/ CLIMBED to?

No cheating! It only counts if you walked or climbed it...

Mine's likely rather pitiful... Years ago: Great Gable in the Lake District. UK. 899m elevation.

I swear, our guide was part mountain goat! My legs were so wobbly after the decent that I collapsed in a heap at one point. Fortunately, everyone was too tired to notice. Even more embarassing, we met a fell runner at the base and she ran up!

Maybe that's unfair though... Include places you visited maybe but, specify if you walked/ climbed it. I bet we must have some mountaineers.

I climbed the Pic du Midi route as a younger and more experienced person. With 2 friends when I was hospital staff in Rhône Alpes. It is a long route that climbs in stages via relays. The summit is 2800 meters but the climbing route is about 600 meters. It's the biggest climb I've ever done

I don't know if the empire state building counts but I did walk all the way up the stairs.
