    The misleading part is having the picture labeled as the height of k2 here. The height listed should be its prominence not sea level to peak.

      People generally refer to mountains by their altitude, and buildings by prominence. Those that are aware of the difference can subtract 4000 from 8611. Those that are not would be confused by different labeling.

        That’s not the issue i had with the photo. It was it not being labeled at the proper height from the base. I didn’t notice the label at the bottom hence the strike-thru of my comment.

        Those that don’t completely read the comment thread can be confused by different markup labeling.
