It's difficult to find a new question so I'll repeat an old one
Name 3, no make that 4, claimants to the title of "World's highest mountain" and explain the justification for each claim.Last edited by D-Type; 5th August 2015 at 22:32. Reason: I thought of another

Olympus Mons - depending on how you measure it towers at least 69,000 ft. When you said "World's highest mountain" you didn't specify which world.
Rheasilvia - is probably 72,000 ft tall; it's on Vesta which isn't even a planet but it might be a world.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!
