What's the highest altitude you've been at, disregarding on flights?

Mine is 2250m, Mexico City, somewhat higher than when atop Australia's highest mountain.

I have been on the lower slopes of Mount Kosciusko in Australia. That isn't far off the altitude of Mexico City.
I've been to an uncertain height about 100 metres below Pico de Veleta, Spain, 3394 metres (ice prevented a safe further ascent on foot) but I was able to drive to within a few hundred metres of the summit.
For certain, my highest is Mt Washburn, USA, an easy 3,122 metres walk ascending some 450 metres.
I've also been down in the Dead Sea, Israel, at -430 metres and deepest underwater scuba diving is 39 metres off Isla de la Juventud, Cuba.
