STOP STOP I'M GETTING A NOSEBLEED
(OK, I know Opportunity was a lot higher up in elevation. But that's not a fair comparison - "Oppy" was born lucky and everybody knows it. The wind was always at that rover's back and it never had to land in a 1500 km-wide hole punched out of the highlands...)
Curiosity's single drive climbing record is currently 9.49 meters. Sadly I don't have the data for Spirit and Opportunity, but I'm guessing the record climb is now held by Perseverance with that climb of 32.419922 meters :)
