Few have had a 40,000 foot vertical day.

Buea to the summit of Mt Cameroon is over 10K of gain (~10.4?), straight up. That was a fun day. I did that before the '99-'00 eruptions. Not sure how much of the top blew off.

I've probably had some ski tours that came close to 10K of up. Up and down? Tons of times.

You are allowed to hike Snow Creek. You have to go east around the DWA parcel (section 33) at the start, which adds perhaps 3 hours. The DWA tries to catch anyone going thru their section up the ithsmuth between Snow Creek and Falls Creek. As with any other hike up San Jacinto, you need a permit from the state park or USFS.

You can start out near the highway or closer to the village of Snow Creek on BLM land. If you start near the village, you can hike up the paved gated road to about 1650', near the PCT turnoff, and then head east across the wash. It would be nice to have a big post at the NE corner of section 33 so you know when you have skirted that.

The start from near the highway is shown here: http://socalhikes.com/2010/08/snow-creek-to-san-jacinto/

Another big potential access problem is the Cactus to Clouds trail up San Jacinto.
More vertical than Snow Creek since you start in Palm Springs. The BLM is planning to give land away to the rich Agua Caliente tribe. http://www.mtsanjacinto.info/viewtopic.php?t=3459&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Biggest self propelled days for me was on a bike doing the Death Ride in Alpine Co. CA:
Did the Death Ride maybe 4 or 5 times over the years then we went up and did the RAMROD (Ride Around Mt. Rainer in One Day) which I thought was harder. Blue bird day on that one, absolutely stunningly beautiful with Mt. Rainer on your left the entire day:
Don't think I've climbed or skied toured 10,000 ft. in a day? I suppose the closest was Shasta on skis car to car which I think is about 8,000 ft. Anyway hats off to all you hard men and women, 10,000 ft or more in a day is HUGE! At 60 years + now that train has left the station for me.
