Buea to the summit of Mt Cameroon is over 10K of gain (~10.4?), straight up. That was a fun day. I did that before the '99-'00 eruptions. Not sure how much of the top blew off.
I've probably had some ski tours that came close to 10K of up. Up and down? Tons of times.
Some folks are putting up some big numbers here:http://www.tahoevertical.com/

Got in another one today rode Crow Peak 7 times for 10,500ft to raise about $500 bucks for the Vets Club at the college I work at.

Biggest self propelled days for me was on a bike doing the Death Ride in Alpine Co. CA:
Did the Death Ride maybe 4 or 5 times over the years then we went up and did the RAMROD (Ride Around Mt. Rainer in One Day) which I thought was harder. Blue bird day on that one, absolutely stunningly beautiful with Mt. Rainer on your left the entire day:
Don't think I've climbed or skied toured 10,000 ft. in a day? I suppose the closest was Shasta on skis car to car which I think is about 8,000 ft. Anyway hats off to all you hard men and women, 10,000 ft or more in a day is HUGE! At 60 years + now that train has left the station for me.
