Elevation conversation

We asked: what’s the highest hill you’ve climbed? You said…

Graeme Rothery Saw a dude on top of Scafell Pike smoking a splif. He was highest man in England for a short while. True story.

Carolyn Smith Ben Nevis with some awesome friends and my two brothers. Me and one brother have a condition that can kill us, called vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and that day we beat it and lived life to the max. One of my best days, and there was snow too so even better and a 13 hour walk for me to complete.

Paul Leviston Scafell Pike, but it’s only a short distance from the car park to the top. Ben Nevis from sea-level to the top and (ditto) Ben Arthur.

Graeme Wall Ben Nevis... I’ve been much higher in the Alps and Sierra Nevada but I don’t count anything if I do part of it in a cable car.

Kevin O’Sullivan Beacon Hill nr Highclere Castle: a tasty 261m hill with farreaching views over S England. As a 5yr old it’s my first Everest.

Scott Pilling Kilimanjaro 5895m / 19,341ft. Though I do plan to finish all the famous 7 Summits in the future. i’ve also added to it Mont Blanc next summer.

Lyndon Rowley Ben Nevis. Couldn’t see ten yards in the fog; will have to go again on a clear day. Very surprised to see a boat up there, though.

Darren Witts Ben Nevis... till next year then off to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar.

Ellie Whittaker Helvellyn in England, but we did climb one of the highest hills in Saudi Arabia (1045m) and one in Oman at 2200m (but by car!)

Simon Knight Lol Ben More in Crianlarich! 3,852ft!

Teresa Coles McGee Kilimanjaro, 5895m. (In my head I’m doing Aconcagua, but my knees are screaming “SHUT HER UP!!”)

Emma King Mount Sinai. At night with no torch in trainers and denim jacket. Coldest night of my life. The folly of youth.

Martin Ormesher Mount Olympus, just short of 10,000ft. Spent a week in the refuge huts. Highly Recommend this fantastic experience!!

Paul Dolphin Kilimanjaro 2014, allegedly the worst weather they had seen in years in February. Hardly saw a thing on summit night, was either dark or snowing!

Ric Tinsley Snowdon, when I did the Welsh 3 Peaks challenge.

Bradley Howard Kilimanjaro at 5895m. Tallest mini mountain is Ben Nevis, twice.

Laura Hodgkinson Kala Patthar in Nepal 5640m/18,500ft the best thing I’ve ever done!
