The line of death is at 8,000 meters, not feet

Nope. Feet.

At least, that's what I remember from the film, and the Wikipedia page says "feet."

Also, I don't know if the Rockies have a 25,000-foot mountain (I think the Andes do, though).

Us Americans are kinda awkward about measurement units...

Even that’s a stretch.

The highest peak in the Andes, is Mount Aconcagua, which is just under 7,000 meters. That’s the highest point in the Western Hemisphere.
