This tool can be used to find an estimate for the elevation of a point on the earth.
Old but has anyone clocked this? 2048
My house is at 18.047m
My office is at 31.759m (plus ten storeys)
My Dad’s house is at 92.278m
Mrs C’s Dad’s house is at 451.318m

Mount Everest is 8588.096 m or 28176.167 feet.
the 1in20 elevation gain is 286m or 4.27% (or 1 in 23.4)

8848! Damn… still didn’t pick it.

Height of Everest is constantly debated and estimated using different techniques. If I’m correct it’s actually increasing a smidgeon each year due to tectonic uplift (don’t quote me on this).
