Cisco ASA - can't ping/trace icmp to IP in public IP block

IP block from ISP: x.y.z.32/28

ISP gateway: x.y.z.33
ASA outside: x.y.z.34

permit icmp any outside
access-list in.outside permit icmp any any
global policy: inspect icmp

I can do the following:
packet-tracer input outside icmp 4.4.2.2 8 0 x.y.z.34 detail

This, however, "DROP" by implicit rule - which goes to the implicit "deny any any""
packet-tracer input outside icmp 4.4.2.2 8 0 x.y.z.40 detail

This fails on every IP in the block except the actual IP on the interface.

What am I missing?

maybe it's stupid question, but do you have a route setup?

I don't follow what you mean.

I'm running a packet-tracer on the ASA itself, using one of the IP's in the assigned block.

I can't ping the IP from a remote system - which is why I'm testing the packet-tracer in the first place.

Routing is functioning to the entire subnet, as I have a "static (inside,outside) tcp x.y.z.45 3389 192.168.1.35 3389 netmask 255.255.255.255" which is also working.

The question is why the icmp is dropped with implicit ACL when I have an *explicit* permit icmp any any in the access list on the interface.
On ASA you can only ping from higher security level to lower security level, not vice versa.
