So I hiked up mount Sherman the other day at 14,043 ft above sea level at the peak, it’s one of the 14ers of Colorado and one of the tallest peaks in the US. I got thinking about it and was wondering if there was a world record for highest elevation yoyo’ed at. If there is I’d like to know that elevation, and if not did I just create it? I’ve done some research and can’t find anything besides record that are met and broken in a competition. Which this of course isn’t, it’s still pretty cool. 2800 almost vertical climb above the tree line just to throw some yoyos! > **[Todd YoyoFox Rollenhagen on Instagram: "14,043 ft on top of mount Sherman,...](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CiIZRl4uL-W/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)** > > 25 likes, 2 comments - yoyo\_fox\_ on September 5, 2022: "14,043 ft on top of mount Sherman, what else would I do but yoyo!

Lol! It was between pikes & Sherman. The hike up was a shorter distance on Sherman so we chose that one. Should have went on pikes we would have tied :wink: ---

Respect to you both for hiking & yo-yoing that high! My Jeep excursion to the top of Red Mountain outside Ouray was only 12,598′ and motorized transportation doesn’t count. Might need to check with Doc Lucky if anyone has thrown on Everest. ---

Driving a Miata from Colorado to Cali is impressive either way though lol, I’m not sure too many understand that drive, I bet it was hella fun in the Miata too
