I’ve driven and done the cogwheel up to pikes peak if we’re counting that.

Highest by foot is Bierdstadt and Evans - so 14,130 ft.

I’ve been 1,800 feet below sea level before though.

What I learned that day is shorter trails are not a good thing when it comes to climbing tall mountains


Affirmative!! I bet you thought coming down would be a piece of cake like I did, only to find out your knees and legs are jello at the bottom.
Quandary peak. 14,268
Couldn’t see anything as it started sleeting and lightning very scary with only you and some rocks

Land? Continental divide. 10 or 11k?

At sea level? Made a rookie mistake and doubled up edibles on an Alaska cruise. That and trying to drink all the gin on the boat was a bad combo.

Mount Evans 14,266. I've also been to Pikes Peak. Evans is just slightly taller. I think the progs renamed it because the real Evans killed some indians, but it'll always be Mount Evans to me.
