Re: Most elevation gain on a climb.
Personally the Barr Trail in a single day at something like 7400'.
Though I know that is nothing in comparison to some hikes.
I mean look at Andrew Hamilton's recent Centennials record. Or some of the hikes/climbs up peaks that well exceed 14,000' outside of Colorado.

If you can't walk, you crawl
If you can't crawl, you find someone to carry you

Re: Most elevation gain on a climb.
My biggest single day is 6,250’ KC/Challenger from Willow Creek. Two day is Little Bear/Ellingwood from the valley deck 6,800’. Both were many years ago when I was young and strong. Maybe not strong. Stronger than now anyway.

Re: Most elevation gain on a climb.
Think it was probably was Half Dome/Clouds rest combination hike, the gain of which was a little over 8,000ft.

Re: Most elevation gain on a climb.
In a angle continuous hike without sleeping? 14000' or so in college, hiking the Appalachian Trail between Hanover, NH and Mt. Moosilauke in a bit over 24 hours.
For a single mountain? Mt. Williamson a month or so ago, with a cumulative 10k or so, though spread over 2 1/2 days.
In a single calendar day? Probably the Presidential traverse in NH, 9000'+
For a single mountain in a single day? I think the Barr Trail up Pikes, 7400'.

Hiked up and down Pikes Peak, turned around and did it again. Right around 15,000'.
