What is the highest peak you have ever hiked?

I have a buddy who did Kilimanjaro today and has been posting photos from his trip. The sign at the summit shows 5,895 meters... so 19,341 feet.
That is crazy to think about... my highest peak that I have hiked was Clingmans Dome in the Smokey Mountains. It is 2,025 meters (6,643 ft.). Let it be known that I did the hike from the NC side, via the Forney Creek Trail, starting at the Forney Ridge Trailhead.
3,827 feet elevation gain and 15.2 one way, not just the little one mile paved trail.
I was wondering what everyone else's highest was... If you say Everest I'll need pictures of you doing it.
ETA: photos

Does riding a ski lift count?

Mt. Evans is the highest paved road in North America. I drove to 14,100' then walked the last couple of hundred feet to the peak.

Mount Antero. 14,276'. 26th highest in the US. 11th highest in Colorado.
Pike's Peak doesn't count unless you've actually hiked the whole thing.

How tall are the Indian Mounds on campus?
Posted on 8/2/16 at 4:42 pm to SaturdayTraditions
The Indian Mounds at LSU...probably 25 ft above sea level.
Cold weather, rocks, wind, and bad knees = lots of slippage
Damn you upgrayyed

I did LeConte as well. I lived up there for two years so I did a lot of the trails in the park.

Yeah, we went up Rainbow Falls and down the other trail whose name escapes me. Ate lunch at the lodge. Was about 45 degrees in the middle of July.

Do the long trail unless you are in a hurry. It is much more scenic.
