If the "Erase or triple" protocol is applied to a(1) = 1 (see A300148), the biggest integer reached is 17010; when the same protocol is applied to a(2) = 10, we reach the "altitude" 65610; when applied to a(3) = 23, the "altitude" reached is 121743; when applied to a(4) = 176, the "altitude" reached is 1154736; etc.
The sequence is finite and has 628 terms, with a(628) = 3291768054 (pandigital); a(628) reaches the maximum possible "altitude" 29625912486.
