Fuck Everest. I wanna be the first person to climb Olympus Mons. Bigger challenge. Right off the bat, even the base of it has air too thin to breathe without special equipment. 😌
Wouldn’t Everest still be the tallest? I mean, I have to assume it extends below sea level, too. It’s not just floating at sea level But where does a mountain start being a mountain and not just the ground? 🤔

At this point I’m perfectly happy with my daily walk around Pubis Mons
Got me thinking, Olympus Mons is the tallest peak in the solar system right? But there is no water on Mars.
Mount Everest is measured from sea level. If you measured from the bottom of the ocean it’s there a taller peak somewhere on earth?
That would be Mauna Kea in Hawai’i
Cool, thanks! 9,330 m
Still not close to Olympus Mons but the more you know…

I was wondering about this too. Which peak is furthest from the center of the planet.
The lower gravity is a mitigating factor.
I’ve been planning my ascent since I was four.
I won’t hesitate to Amundsen you.
Let’s be realistic and say Inaccessible Island instead. Like come on, it’s in the name.
