Real elevation is ~5020 m
[edit]Is there a reference to the "Elevation 5,560 m" claim? a) All trek descriptions claim the peak to be 5098 m or so b) Topographic maps show it barely over the 5000 m contour line c) Our gps devices displayed ~5020 m while on summit in October 2024
Rush Peak is a trekking destination rather than a real mountain. It is just a viewpoint on a ridge that passes the Rush lake and ascends from 4000 to 6200 meters. The "peak" is marked by a huge cairn (man-made pile of rocks) at the end of a path. It could be that the 5098 / 5560 elevations apply to some other point on the ridge. However, the locals claim the cairn to be the "Rush peak".
Should I change the elevation in the article? Or Wikidata object?
If so, then what should I use as a reference? Kurinurm (talk) 12:04, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q937490 shows the elevation to be 5094 m. Other Wiki pages (eg Urdu) also have conflicting information, but no source has the elevation over 5100. I assume the current number must be a mistake. Kurinurm (talk) 15:26, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
