Here's a photo of my Ridgeline at about 11,500 foot elevation in the White Mountains of California. It climbed up with 3 passengers and gear with nary a cough. Anyone had theirs higher?

Did you use a GPS to get the elevation ?:)

We did utilize a GPS but elevations here are posted in area maps and signs so we could check accuracy. What we found was the higher we got the more accurate the GPS readings. This area is in the Ancient Bristlecone Forest on the Inyo National Forest. Trees here are up to 4,000+ years old.
