That's generally the wisest thing to do.

My St Elias and Mt. Logan are up there too. This is sea level to 18k feet

It will depend on what mountain they want to qualify.

Roger is a Denali guy. He came in to give a smug answer of "it's the tallest not the highest (on land), hahaha", unfortunately it is a subjective argument in most cases.

It is the same when people turn around and argue the highest mountain then throw out Chimbrazo

that's pretty neat. Pittsburgh seems like a pretty cool town to visit


Lived there for 6 months. It's a cool city. Way better than the pit that is Philly.

Denali is the highest climb in elevation one can make. Period. Unless you want to put on a deep sea diving suit and start from the bottom or trek from the coast at sea level to Everest.

Fair enough?

I see that often driving into town in the morning. It's a stirring sight and even prettier during sunrise.

Gotta say as much as I dislike the snakes in DC, the monuments are incredible.

Me too. There is a beauty and definite uniqueness about the lack of skyscrapers in DC. The Washington Monument is an awesome sight driving in every morning
