Correct, the ribbon is for people. *I* think the ribbon should only be given for high altitude at the geohash coordinates, not for high altitude at another meetup location.

I hate to ask the question, but the way this is worded indicates this is just for the meetup. If the ribbon is instead awarded for the highest geohash point, then the indicated expedition does not qualify. --Thomcat 19:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Now I don't understand. I don't think the random number generator should win ribbons for spewing out geohashes in Tibet and Nepal, if that's what you mean. I took this to be an award for the *people* who reach the highest geohash. If I misread the expedition, then correct it. I'm on the road, and don't have opportunity. --Robyn
