      I think this is more to visualize the size of the ascent on K2, rather than the true size of the mountain.

      at 800m the Burj is still at 1/10 of the 2nd tallest mountain… seems big no?

      What’s misleading?
      It literally tells you the foot of the mountain is already around 4000m above sea level.
