Aint no Flatlander... new ST record..26,361
Gasherbrum II
What year,,
Sam Roberts,, I read your entry on page 314 of the 1979 AAJ, must have been a rough trip.
I also read the obituary you wrote for your friend on pg 349
It always amazes me reading thru the old AAJ's how many time the word "tragedy" comes up in the Himalaya section.

Whitney and many of the other west coast 14ker's is about all I could afford. Always wanted to do Alaska, Foraker and Denali but after running a woodshop for the last 15+ years I don't think I have it in me aerobically any longer. But there is a lot on my wish list still that is with in my aerobic capability, cough,cough......

Scared Silly: "A friend just got back from a 4 month expedition. He was around 350,000 meters above sea level. Naturally he was on O2 for the four times he went out and "walked" around. His suit though is not quite and comfortable as a down suit but quite warm."
Which would be the International Space Station. Please tell us more.
Gonna be hard for Conrad to top that one. :-)

"He was around 350,000 meters above sea level." huh?

Base to summit...
Mauna Kea, HI

Use to fish for trout with my dad and bros in Peru above 15,000ft when we were kids...
or that Black Sabbath /Aerosmith concert at Madison Square Gardens back in '77 when I dropped the sh*tty blotter-god that was a nightmare!

The height of the orbit of the International Space Station ranges from 350 to 460 km = 350,000 to 460,000 metres. Scared Silly's post about his friend could only make sense in context of occurring in orbit.

MH, you are correct, a friend just got back from the ISS a couple of weeks ago. This was him second trip up. We watched him go up in October, that was really really cool. He was the flight engr for the Harmony module and spent 120 days on the ISS. He did several space walks assembling the module plus a few others, including finding a malfunctioning solar panel gimbal.

1981 the summit plateau of Huascaran Sur in Peru 6768 meters, but I stopped short of the actual highest point, so give me 6748 meters. I had soloed the Shield Route, a fine line, that was (incredibly) skied by Nicholas Jaeger (rip). A great trip with Double D, Augie Klein, Kurt Reider, and Charlie Schreck, and have not climbed at altitude since.

Man this one time I was soooooo high...
18,500ish (records vary) on Pico de Orizaba in Mexico is my record. I drank too much and then caught a 24 hour flu right before so when I climbed it I had had 1 meal in 3 days. Probably the hardest thing I've ever done, slogging up that damn glacier. Holy crap it just went on for forever.
