Default How to determine the number from given condition?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to determine the number under
following conditions?
There is a list of number under column A & B, and I would like to determine
the highest values based on following conditions.
If any number under column A is smaller than the previous one from bottom to
top direction, then this is the starting point, such as row 5 is the starting
point, because in cell A6 is 6 and in cell A5 is 2. The other starting point
will be in cell A10 and cell A15.
Once the starting point is determine, then I would like to determine the
highest value from starting point to the top as long as the number in column
A is larger than previous one, such as
in cell A10, the highest number column B from row 10 to row 6 is 115.27 in
cell C10. The reason to select the number up to row 6 is that the number in
cell A6 is larger than the number in cell A5, therefore, this define as the
ending point. Therefore, I would like to determine the highest number within
the range from starting point to ending point. Another example will be from
row 15 to row 11, the highest number within this range is 114.65 in cell C15,
and another example will be from row 5 to row 1, the highest number within
this range is 114.54 in cell C5.

row 1 6 110.9
row 2 5 112.66
row 3 4 113.29
row 4 3 114.51
row 5 2 114.54
row 6 6 114.74
row 7 5 114.87
row 8 4 115.27
row 9 3 114.72
row 10 2 114.69
row 11 6 114.01
row 12 5 114.09
row 13 4 113.94
row 14 3 114.65
row 15 2 114.07
row 16 6 115.15

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
