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.

@Lanyx This is southern Africa right? I have been on the relative plateau of Jo'burg though didn't realise it got that much higher.

@UpForItNow Lesotho is the enclave inside of South Africa. It is the "hole" on the map. Jo'burg (Johannesburg) is at 1600m ("mile-high") city. I lived in Jo'burg for 30 years. In 2017? I bought a 4x4, for the sole purpose of doing this trip. Sani Pass is a grueling gravel road with an average gradient of 1:6. Some sections are 1:3 (It is like climbing stairs in a car).
