Highest Elevation Geocache

[+Inmountains]

Does anyone know what the highest elevation Geocache is? I went to Cave Basin in Colorado at 11,600 feet. Yesterday, the kids and I went up to 13,128 feet and I thought about placing a geocache up there (accessible by 4 wheel drive). Are there any really high geocaches? I could do a 14,000 but I know 13,000 was an exercise just to walk around, and I live at 7,100 feet.

This cache is at the summit of Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the Lower 48 (14,497 feet). The highest in my own state is currently this virtual on Mt. Adams (12,276 feet).

Hawk 10 my cache in Bolivia starts at 15,235 feet above sea level at La Cumbre pass above La Paz. When you reach the last point you're at 4,329 feet.

Where is that cache in relation to the airport? I've flown in there on 141s a few times, picked up a boat once as I recall. Good steak in town too.

For the coordinates ... check out Hawk 10 ... but the airport is at 13,300 feet roughly ... and you're right the steak is pretty good in town ... if you pick your resturants carefully! So how long ago was that?
