Then why is the top listed as ~~everest’s height~~ k2’s height (just woke up and can’t read yet), ? It should list height from base to peak, not sea level to peak. It’s misleading this way.

It shows the height above sea level at the base, too.

Well fuck, not only did i misread the mountain but i completely missed the smudge that looks like snow stating the starting height.

I stand corrected. I’m going for coffee so i can look like less of a dipshit today.
