how can I find the highest point of a 3d line and convert to point feature class?

Question

I have a series of perpendicular line along an embankment. I need to determine the highest point along these perpendicular line. Each perpendicular line has a unique ID so that I can theoretically determine the highest point along each 3d line and join them to create a ridge.

My first problem is how to determine and extract the highest vertex of each 3D line and convert to point.

I was hoping to do this without python as I have little experience with it. Is there no other option using tools?

Have you tried reading the geometry via a searchcursor and storing the highest point?
