I think the only valid record should be a photo with something saying or indicating subsim at altitude. (please no pics from inside the airliner...)

Maybe we should have a depth record as well! Would be more fitting perhaps...

Good stuff, and(this said from behind a keyboard), it looks like you made a good choice by going to Pumori instead. My personal high is 6900 m on Aconcagua, but no photo with Subsim banner either. Actually no photo at all from that height since the visibility in that bloody snowstorm was about 5 meters I didn't dare to go any higher since I was alone and would have had to risk not making it back to camp 3 before dark.

Once more, good luck, have fun and climb safe!
