10,000 feet GAIN ? that is a lot of gain. I would like to hear what people did. Not just that they did it.
10,000 feet of elevation gain and loss is easy.
Just gain.
Not so much.

No 10K days, but like everyone else who's climbed in BC's Coast Range, my 4,000 foot days are easily equivalent to your 10,000 foot days.
So there.

2 miles up in a day. More or less. Well, just less, but not by a lot.
That's 1 helluva day, I think.

Didn't Will Gadd do 25,000 vertical feet doing laps in a day for charity at Ouray Ice Festival one year.
Or are you only counting what humans have done?

Snow Creek --North Face of Mt San Jacinto, SoCal.
Yeah, it's a good hard hike. I did it in 1991. Took me from 1:00 AM to 9:00 PM in a push. I had totally inadequate gear which made it an epic.
If the land managers would wake up, this route would be more popular than Mt Whitney. More people should be allowed to do this.

The old White Mtn Peak ride from Laws to the summit and back.
Starts at 4K- tops out at 14K and does some roller coaster to and fro.
I think that was a true life 14,000' day.

"More people should be allowed to do this."
If people want to do something badly enough, they'll do it. The reason there isn't a conga line on Snow Creek is primarily because it's 9500'+ of work, and most of So Cal would rather ride the lifts at Mtn High and go snowboarding.
I'm good with that. Snow Creek is a special place that is best appreciated by those who are willing to do the work.

One day Mt Rainier ascents from White River… like Liberty Ridge, Willis Wall, Winthrop or Emmons Glacier routes… comprise a 11,400 feet altitude gain.
The climb/hike routes from Paradise are about 9,000, Mowich Lake 9,400 and West Road 11,500.

Ascent el. is the only value worth considering.
Maybe a half dozen?
My biggest day was the first 24 hours of AC100 with 20K feet of gain. The last 10 miles are flat but I was wasted by then. Sub-24 on that bitch is a skeleton that will remain in my closet. Ken Hamada is a f*k!ng animal for putting this race on!
Pikes Peak marathon is ~8K of gain, fell asleep and rolled a car after that one. Whitney is mild in comparison at 6k ft from Portal to Summit. If you yo-yo Whitney, Keeler & Russel, that should get you into the 10k zone. East Butt/East Face yoyo will barely be 7500'
