Aconcagua 6950m
Not exactly your average flight although Aconcagua is 6950m high, and bloody cold and windy, we were in fact almost blown off our high altitude camp at 6000m. It's a 2,5 week trip done with good local operators Inca Expeditions. Situated in the Andes - Argentina it's the highest summit outside of the Himalayas, not technical but the extreme altitude makes for an adventure. Have heard of folk who have paraglided from the summit ! Lex

Know 2 guys who have flown there - Pierre Carter managed to take off from the summit on New years eve 2007/8, and then the next day him and Guy Pitman took off from slightly lower and thermalled up to couple hundred meters above it before spiralling down because it was 2 cold!!
Cheers,
