Logging the TVC: Everest Challenge cache

The challenge to log this cache is to sum the difference between the lowest elevation and highest elevation on a hikes to find caches. I sorted through a few caches I remembered, and found 20 caches that total over 29,035 ft. The first two in the list below were tough for me—the first because of 2,800 ft gain at high altitude, and the second because most of the hike was on a poor, sometimes almost nonexistent, trail. Here’s a list of 29 caches I summed.
