Has anyone on /out/ been on a peak higher than 7500m? If no, are you planning on doing that in the future?

highest i've been is 14505'/4422m. i used to think i wanted to go higher, but i've lost any interest in it. i have plenty of semilocal options around 13000' that i can get to without flying that can offer me whatever challenge level i want.

Not sure whats so special about high peaks if most of the time you're not climing the full mountain but starting at least half way or what not. Like for example Everest with 29'k alttitude. You're not climbing 0 to 29k. You still do a lot though but how many is removed by cars or planes ya know? "cheating" I guess.

this is retarded for one, but also someone did this in 96 i think, took a bike with a trailer thing for gear from sea level up to a bit kathmandu, than hiked the rest of the way up to the everest summit. No sherpas or anything for assistance, carried full gear and everything besides food and water the 29k feet up on human power alone.

Nah, that's just the highest a mountain can be without being inside the death zone.

No and I am not planning to do so. It costs a lot of time and energy, features a high risk of injuries and offers very little besides an adventure, pictures and 'self-fulfillment'. I wonder whether the world is getting better by people trying to fill the void in their lives with self-fulfillment.
The same resources to achieve mountaineering such a high peek can be allocated at better projects like my everyday life or my family.
I enjoy mountaineering very much but there is not a lot of flora or fauna above a certain height, only stone and ice, which is beautiful as well.
26, have been solo and with groups above 3000m in Europe and Asia several times.

Not yet. I want to get into the sort of hard core mountaineering that is required, but I'm not quite rich enough to afford it yet.

I will definitely climb Denali at some point.

I've done several 14,000 ft peaks in the Sierras, and Pike's Peak, but that's the tallest we have in my area.

Hoping to bag my first 7000m peak within the next two or three years, we'll see. Having been to above 6000m before, I don't know if I can imagine how hard breathing up there must be. 6000 was already a challenge.

Did you take anything to help with the altitude? I had no trouble getting to the summit of Kilimanjaro but about a year later when traveling through the Andes at lower altitudes (never above 15,000 ft) than Kilimanjaro I was often out of breath and light headed. The difference between the two trips is in Tanzania I took altitude pills but didn't in Peru.
