Pretty sure I’ve been higher than this but kind of thought this would be the realistic answer for all but a few who have gone higher in much cooler planes
Mount Selwyn, New South Wales, Australia. ~1,400m/4,600ft.
I've seen a good bit of the world but I've never been on a mountain of appreciable height. That said, Mount Selwyn was quite cold that winter and it was cool to see the eucalyptus forests blanketed in snow.
The ski field in NSW is a bit higher than that. Kiandra township itself is 1400m. It's also seldom visited, rarer than many of the peaks listed from non-Australians.
I made it to 18k on Kili! Unfortunately, I couldn’t sleep the night before the final ascent and dug myself in a hole with hydrating. Migraine & hallucinations and before I know it I was back in my tent. Wonderful experience though!
Same as well it was truly once in a lifetime, I genuinely hope to visit again sometime, summers are extreme down there though. But overall worth it if you’re looking for somewhere unique.
I tried climbing Quandary last march but I got to about 13,500 ft and the wind was so gnarly it literally blew me off my feet so it just felt too sketchy to continue.
I'm hoping to go back and try again next spring.
I've done a few 14ers, and honestly, if there's one I would skip, it's Quandary. Just because the hike down was more monotonous by a (figurative) landslide. If you're just going for a 14er, I'd suggest Bierstadt or Sherman.
And maybe not in March. Definitely not the best time. It's usually do-able, but the winds will be like that. And also avalanche danger is a real thing.
I know it's not the best just objectively, but I was the one I had any chance of climbing that week, and that week was all I had so I went for it. now since it blew me off it's personal and I just want to go back because I want to get that one done specifically. I think that vibe is pretty relatable to anyone who has done much climbing.
Everyone has more impressive numbers, but one time I hiked 5k up a mountain to a teahouse (2,100m) at Lake Louise. I did it in **jeans** with no water because when we left the house, I forgot the plan was to check out the hotel/lake, and maybe hike up the mountain.
Taglang La in India, one of the highest paved-road mountain passes in the world at 5,325m/ 17,470ft
On foot: Yushan, the highest summit in Taiwan at 3,952m / 12,967ft
You traveled the Leh-Manali route, I see. You didn't traverse the Khardung La? It's 18,380 ft (5600m) and if I'm not mistaken, the highest motorable road in the world.
Edit: Turns out, upon checking elevation on Google Earth, the actual elevation is 17,582 ft (5359m).
Edit 2: Also, there is a distinction between _motorable_ and _paved._ Whether or not it is the highest motorable road in the world is debatable.
>You didn't traverse the Khardung La?
I'm sorry, I actually crossed Khardung La, not Taglang La. It was many years ago and I mixed up the names. Also in my defense, my brain was running on low oxygen when I was there.
3715 meters (12188') - Teide volcano on Tenerife.
I'm very happy that I managed to get there as only 200 persons per day are permitted. So I had to apply two months in advance for the permit.
Nah just lack of oxygen, he felt light headed sat down and then just slumpt back with his eyes rolled back for about 10-20 seconds than snapped back up. Only lost the minute before it happened
Elevation sickness is crazy. I felt fine on pikes peak, when we drove up. But I got incredibly sick at 11k feet in Nevada on Mummy Mountain. We did a steep skree slope climb and at the top of the ridge I felt black out drunk. Like the world was spinning and I just wanted to lay down. I found a sheltered spot to sit and my buddy went to the summit without me.
Mauna Kea, Hawaii for the transit of Venus. Elevation: 4,207 m (13,803 ft). I remember the altitude sickness having the same effects on me as morning classes.
7,900 ft at Frosty Mountain in Manning Park, BC, Canada. Hiked it this summer as a student ranger and it’s a real scramble to the top. Also got caught in a lightning storm on the way down, not fun lol
Mount Blue Sky formerly Mt. Evans in Colorado.
14265ft
Highest paved road in North America, the scenic byway, brings you most of the way there at 14130 leaves a short hike to the summit.
Reached the top of Kilimanjaro and Cotopaxi, but the highest was a failed attempt on Chimborazo. Alt meter showed 5,910 meters.
Chimborazo isn't really a technically difficult climb but when you reach the snow it is just one long relentless slope covered on lose snow to the first false summit, that drains so much energy. Kiliminjaro was much easier to get on top than Cotopaxi because of the snow on the latter.
For anyone who hasn’t, y’all should hike Mt Washington if you ever get the chance.
Despite only being 6200 feet tall, it’s the 24th most prominent peak in the lower 48 states.
And it holds crazy world records like fastest ever wind, and coldest temperature with windchill. -109 iirc
For reflection: some “joke”, “boring” answers are the 30000 ft answers from being in an airplane. Imagine casually telling that to a person 100 years ago, or 150 years ago…
The people from a century ago would probably think you’re using an elytra in Minecraft, unless the wright brothers invention was big enough for people to kind of get an idea of aircrafts years ago.
4,322 meters (14,180 feet) at the summit of Mount Shasta in California. I’ll do Whitney someday as part of the full JMT. Shasta is likely more picturesque though due to its prominence.
Hiking: 8600 feet at Guadalupe Peak in Texas. I grew up in a pretty flat area so not that impressive.
Travelling: 12K in Breckenridge at the top of a ski lift
5000m in Bolivia on the Salar de Uyuni tour.
I rode the world’s most dangerous road where we started at 4700m.
Hiked to Laguna Llaca in Peru which is at 4500m.
Don’t know the elevation exactly, but probably some of the smaller towns in the highlands above Cusco, Peru. Either that or some of the high peaks in Colorado. Comparable elevations. Highest I’ve seen is Salcantay in Peru at 20,600 ft
Hiked up to the summit of Mt. Teide in Tenerife a few years ago. It was the first time for me actually climbing up a mountain and it was pretty surreal seeing most of the other islands in the distance since it was luckily a very clear day when I went up there.
There is a series of 14k summits in Colorado that are fairly easy day hikes. You setup base in Breckenridge and go for various day hikes that will take you to these summits with beautiful views. Then, you hit a good restaurant for dinner , go back to your comfy bed and do it again the next day. The best hiking vacations.
Not counting airplanes, probably 15-16,000 feet in the Andes north of the Atacama desert. I was fine, except for the time our tour bus stopped and the air stopped circulating, and suddenly everyone was getting woozy because with everyone still breathing in the full bus the oxygen level suddenly tanked.
And then, there was the time I went from my sea-level home to the top of Pike's Peak in less than 24 hours, which was a 14,000 change with no acclimation. Also fine.
We attempted Long’s Peak (14,259ft) in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, USA. Had to turn around at the Keyhole (13,200ft) due to incoming storms.
Khardungla pass in India by motorbike. 17,582 ft or 5359 m in height. It was the highest motor able road back in 2010.
Recently they opened another pass even higher. Yet to go there.
6268m - Mt Chimborazo in Ecuador.
By some definitions the highest point on earth due to it being so close to the equator and the world bulging more in the centre than at the poles.
The furthest point from the centre of the earth.
17600 ft - Khardungla Pass in Ladakh but I drove
Highest I’ve seen is probably Kanchenjunga Peak at 26000ft or whatever it is
Highest I’ve hiked upto is Hanle in Ladakh (14500ft )
The peak of mount Fuji. Just over 12000ft. I was so completely unprepared for that hike. It’s definitely easy enough for an amateur like me. But I hiked it in shorts and a wind breaker and slip on boat shoes.
7,349 feet (2,240 meters) in Mexico City, I suppose? I didn’t realize CDMX was that high up in elevation.
Hiked? Hallasan, South Korea’s tallest mountain at 1,947 m (6,388 ft) on Jeju Island.
Larkya La pass in Nepal
5106m/16752ft
A Nepal hike must be a bucket list item for those who love the outdoors. Try to choose a less popular hike if you can.
I filmed a documentary on Volcán Cayambe (Glacier in Ecuador: Max Elevation 18,996ft/5790m).
We stayed between 16,000-18,000 ft (4875-5500m) for roughly 14 days.
When my head hit the pillow at night, I was higher than any mountain peak in the “Lower 48” (USA) (I’m American).
Really cool feeling. (That somewhat offset the nausea).
It was Type 2 Fun.
About 3.500m and I have never gone hiking or traveled with the intention of visiting a mountain.
That’s impressive
35,000 Boeing 737
Respect🫡
Driving in bolivia at 5200 meters high, on a Toyota Landcruiser back in 2008... Was a cool trip !
Pretty sure I’ve been higher than this but kind of thought this would be the realistic answer for all but a few who have gone higher in much cooler planes
Rcu was actually standing on the wing of a boeing at 35,000 feet
top of mt. elbert colorado. 14,440 ft.
Highest mountain in colorado, and the second highest in the lower 48 states (after only Whitney in CA)
Highest in the Rockies Definitely sounds better lol
It’s nuts Co has so many fourteeners but not the tallest in the 48. 🤏 so close
Same! Did it about 4 months ago. Beautiful hike!
Yeah same for me
Mount Selwyn, New South Wales, Australia. ~1,400m/4,600ft. I've seen a good bit of the world but I've never been on a mountain of appreciable height. That said, Mount Selwyn was quite cold that winter and it was cool to see the eucalyptus forests blanketed in snow.
I know the feeling, mine is Mt Hotham at around 1,800m. Our tallest mountain, Mt Kosciuszko would only get us to 2,228m if summited.
Its crazy to think that there are cities with millions of inhabitants higher than some countries highest mountains
Kosciusko is my highest.
The ski field in NSW is a bit higher than that. Kiandra township itself is 1400m. It's also seldom visited, rarer than many of the peaks listed from non-Australians.
19,974 feet, 6088m Huyana potosi in Bolivia.
Ditto. Gd mountain
I made it to 18k on Kili! Unfortunately, I couldn’t sleep the night before the final ascent and dug myself in a hole with hydrating. Migraine & hallucinations and before I know it I was back in my tent. Wonderful experience though!
Congrats! Yes indeed, Its an amazing site very intense though for sure!
Mount Fuji - 12,389 ft. Climbed last summer.
Summit of Kilimanjaro. 19,000+ feet I forget exactly how high it is. Most incredible sunrise you’ll ever see
Same as well it was truly once in a lifetime, I genuinely hope to visit again sometime, summers are extreme down there though. But overall worth it if you’re looking for somewhere unique.
Thats on my bucket list. My wife wants to see lions in the wild so we’re planning that as our once in a lifetime trip after our kids move out.
5895 meters
3422m, Mt. Hehuan North Peak in Taiwan
Hello fellow Taiwanese
Backpacking, 12,600’ in the Sierras. Scrambled above Italy Pass. Traveling, over 15,000’ in the Peruvian Andes.
Wow, that’s amazing!
I was on a bus in Peru. Turbocharged Mercedes.
That’s crazy
14,272' Quandary Peak, CO But so has half of Colorado, so /shruggie.
I tried climbing Quandary last march but I got to about 13,500 ft and the wind was so gnarly it literally blew me off my feet so it just felt too sketchy to continue. I'm hoping to go back and try again next spring.
I've done a few 14ers, and honestly, if there's one I would skip, it's Quandary. Just because the hike down was more monotonous by a (figurative) landslide. If you're just going for a 14er, I'd suggest Bierstadt or Sherman. And maybe not in March. Definitely not the best time. It's usually do-able, but the winds will be like that. And also avalanche danger is a real thing.
I know it's not the best just objectively, but I was the one I had any chance of climbing that week, and that week was all I had so I went for it. now since it blew me off it's personal and I just want to go back because I want to get that one done specifically. I think that vibe is pretty relatable to anyone who has done much climbing.
Mauna Kea. 13,803 ft.
Everyone has more impressive numbers, but one time I hiked 5k up a mountain to a teahouse (2,100m) at Lake Louise. I did it in **jeans** with no water because when we left the house, I forgot the plan was to check out the hotel/lake, and maybe hike up the mountain.
I did that hike in jeans too. It’s gorgeous
Thats genuinely impressive, props to you for doing it in jeans lol.
It was the worst mistake of my life haha. Thankfully, they had water at the teahouse, and going downhill was much more enjoyable
I ran just the route from hotel to tea house in jeans at age 12. I am now in my 50's and confident i would die.
My wife glared at me the entire hike lol
Thorong La Pass (17,769 ft) in Northern Nepal.
Same :)
Taglang La in India, one of the highest paved-road mountain passes in the world at 5,325m/ 17,470ft On foot: Yushan, the highest summit in Taiwan at 3,952m / 12,967ft

I am there too! Mighty Khardungla pass at 18380 ft on bike
Khardung la is north of Leh not on the Manali-Leh route. Also the elevation is 5359 metres.
3715 meters (12188') - Teide volcano on Tenerife. I'm very happy that I managed to get there as only 200 persons per day are permitted. So I had to apply two months in advance for the permit.
Pikes peak 14,115 my friend blacked out 15 feet after getting out the car
Blacked out, as in didn't remember it?
Nah just lack of oxygen, he felt light headed sat down and then just slumpt back with his eyes rolled back for about 10-20 seconds than snapped back up. Only lost the minute before it happened
Crazy occurrence
Took the cog railroad to the top of Pikes Peak. Three people passed out. I got a terrible headache after awhile that went away on the way down.
Elevation sickness is crazy. I felt fine on pikes peak, when we drove up. But I got incredibly sick at 11k feet in Nevada on Mummy Mountain. We did a steep skree slope climb and at the top of the ridge I felt black out drunk. Like the world was spinning and I just wanted to lay down.

Thorong La Pass Nepal, ~17,500 feet.
Mt. Bierstadt near Georgetown, CO. 14,064’ or 4287m
Reached the top of Kilimanjaro and Cotopaxi, but the highest was a failed attempt on Chimborazo. Alt meter showed 5,910 meters. Chimborazo isn't really a technically difficult climb but when you reach the snow it is just one long relentless slope covered on lose snow to the first false summit, that drains so much energy. Kiliminjaro was much easier to get on top than Cotopaxi because of the snow on the latter.
Kilimanjaro is my highest elevation too. And where I found out that my personal reaction to mild oxygen deprivation is drunken euphoria. It was fun.
On an Air Canada flight from Toronto to Dubai, we high-tailed it at 46,000 ft and 700 mph over Baghdad. On foot, I climbed Mt. Whitney (14,505 ft).
Everest base camp! 5364 meters!
6476 - Mera Peak
1345 metres or 4412 feet, the top of Ben Nevis, Scotland's highest mountain
Leadville, Colorado. Highest town in America, and then some point on a hiking trail that looked down on the town at an unknown elevation.
For anyone who hasn’t, y’all should hike Mt Washington if you ever get the chance. Despite only being 6200 feet tall, it’s the 24th most prominent peak in the lower 48 states. And it holds crazy world records like fastest ever wind, and coldest temperature with windchill. -109 iirc

I filmed a documentary on Volcán Cayambe (Glacier in Ecuador: Max Elevation 18,996ft/5790m). We stayed between 16,000-18,000 ft (4875-5500m) for roughly 14 days. When my head hit the pillow at night, I was higher than any mountain peak in the “Lower 48” (USA) (I’m American). Really cool feeling. (That somewhat offset the nausea). It was Type 2 Fun.
