What's the highest you've ever been?

[pokerfan]

<insert drug joke here>

No fair counting aircraft.

14,410 feet
Mt. Rainier, Washington

[LSK]

1. 14000something - Pikes Peak a couple of times

Also on 9/11 I drove over 12,126' Cottonwood Pass.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. That Would Be Mine Too

Except for airplanes, of course. Transpacific flights usually are at least 36,000 feet, sometimes higher, depending upon the wind currents.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

2. 13,000 ft. Almost to the top of Mt. Shasta. I thought I was going to die.

[XemaSab]

3. This one time on 4:20 my roommate made some cookies

and I ate the batter then I ate 2 cookies.

Holy shit.

She was telling me this story and my brain was telling me to make noises like I was paying attention then I had to interrupt her and go lie down. I skipped all my classes the next morning, but I went to calculus the following afternoon and I was still totally baked.

Never again.

[xmas74]

40. That would be similar to my own story. n/t

[Kali]

41. pffft

:spray: "and my brain was telling me to make noises like I was paying attention" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[XemaSab]

43. Uh huh. Really? Wow. Holy shit. Wow. Uh huh. No!

etc.

[democracyindanger]

4. Mount Toluca, Mexico -15390'

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. 14,255 feet

Longs Peak, Colorado.









I was at the base, but I got one o' those made-up headlines that said I climbed it.

[carpetbagger]

6. Memorial Day 1985

I got a nice sunburn by lying for several hours on the beach, unable to move. Yeah, I saw some aircraft, both visible and invisible.

[RebelOne]

7. Somewhere up in the Rocky Mountains above

Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I don't know how many feet, but it was pretty darn high.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. 5305 ft. The Mile high swinging bridge at Grandfather Mountain...

...and that was enough for me. :scared:

[Rosie1223]

9. Sears Tower Observation Deck

I'm no mountain climber.

[cleofus1]

10. back in 1978

[fight4my3sons]

24. Ha! Ha!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: been there a few times myself :P



I guess the highest I ever been physically was in the mountains of Colorado.

[Kali]

44. ...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: oh man

[Deep13]

11. Alternate thread title: Hey, I climbed Mt. Rainier!

I only got to 6800 ft., no ice climbing. I was really out of shape and that was part of a volcanos of Wahington hiking trip guided by bicycle adventures. The group leader said he once bicycled from Seattle and then climbed Rainier the next day. Probably not the best way to do it.

Anyway, my highest non-aircraft altitude was 10,000 feet in the city of Flagstaff.

[Deep13]

12. per John Lennon, "I'm higher than Jesus right now."

footnote to the Onion.

[Mutley]

13. One time this friend of my roommate's came over

with something around 2 or 3 oz of greenery. He just kept rolling blunt after blunt after blunt. I can't even say how many.... OMG. Good times. I don't do that stuff anymore, though.

As for your real question :P , I'm not sure. Whatever the standard altitude is of a regular commercial jet.

[DS1]

14. 2 places at the same time

:smoke:

[texas1928]

16. Well the S&H Green stamps told me we were at...

25,000 feet, but they are a bunch of god damn liars...

So I don't know.

:P

[GirlinContempt]

17. I'm not sure

Nothing too impressive though... Higher than 2329.4 FT

[wildhorses]

18. Mt Mitchell, NC

highest elevation east of the Mississippi at 6684 feet



chump change compared to yours but, beautiful especially in the fall

[EstimatedProphet]

19. 8800 ft-South Rim of the Grand Canyon

I've never been to the top of a high mountain though.

[tsakshaug]

20. 14,410

did Rainier this past summer

[Cobalt Violet]

21. Mt Washington, NH.

6,288 feet

[fight4my3sons]

25. My husband is a climber,

and he was nervous driving up and down that road! Talk about white knuckles. We even put the cheesy bumper sticker on our car after that trip, felt like we earned it!

[Beer Snob-50]

28. This is it for me also.

My buddy and I did it in about 5 hours (both ways) and were kind of proud of ourselves. He was talking to someone about it in the locker room after, and they rained on our parade by saying they did it twice that day.

[Reverend_Smitty]

39. Same here

Been up there numerous times. It's quite amusing to go up on top of Mt. Washington in June and it would be snowing

[donheld]

22. 14,264 feet Mount Evans - CO

The big White one on the left.

[greendog]

23. 14,256 Longs Peak

n/t

[northzax]

26. 20320'

name that mountain...

[Deep13]

30. Dunno. Denali is around 22,000 ft. is it not?

[Deep13]

31. Just checked, it is Denali (McKinley) highest in N. America.

I must have been thinking of that mountain in S. America that is the highest in the western hemisphere.

Denali is an adventure. While it is nowhere near as high as the Himalayas, the fact that it is in Alaska makes the weather and conditions especially treacherous.

[northzax]

37. and it is more exposed than the himalayas

you can see Denali from 250 miles away, since there is nothing remotely that big in the area.

[pokerfan]

38. and because it's so far north

the atmosphere is thinner than it would be if it were located closer to the equator.

In fact, if Everest were at the same latitude as Denali, it would feel 3,000 feet higher.

[noonwitch]

27. Whatever height Mt. Princeton in CO is

I went to Young Life camp in Buena Vista, CO in 1981. One of our many activities involved climbing Mt. Princeton, which I know is over 14,000 ft tall.

Fun camp, too. We went horseback riding, rapelling, they had a ropes course and a hot spring-fed pool. It was fun-I may not be an evangelical anymore, but I have no regrets about my involvement in Young Life as a teen. I had a lot of fun, and it kept me out of trouble when I was at a vulnerable age.

[Arugula Latte]

29. Probably about 9,000 feet in Colorado.

Rocky Mtn. High.

[skygazer]

32. Three hits of Orange Sunshine

1979.

Without chemical assistance, I'm not sure. Nothing spectacular - probably Donner Pass which I believe is around 8000 or so.

[seemunkee]

33. Ranier also

[alarcojon]

34. 15,100

That's the height of the rest house on Cotopaxi.

[AngryAmish]

35. 40,000 over Mongolia

That is what the screen on the airplane said.

[Rambis]

36. Alpine Valley 1986 ;0 (nm)

x

[Dave Reynolds]

42. 6 grams of mushrooms.

Fun, and yet not at all fun at the same time.

[stlsaxman]

46. yup- that about sums it up!

[Cats Against Frist]

45. Rainier, also

But I only hiked to the Fremont lookout, which is, only about 7,000 feet.










(and only about an 800 ft. elevation from where I parked the car. OK, I'm a wuss.)

[TallahasseeGrannie]

47. MY 21st birthday

threw up all night. No fun. Ended up with IV's in the infirmary.

Altitude wise, I'd guess the Pocono Mountains.
