What an interesting reaction to facts. I’m assuming you’re a USer, so I’ll break it down for you in freedom bits:
There is a difference between elevation and prominence.
Denali is 20,310 feet in elevation and 20,146 feet in prominence.
Pike’s Peak is 14,115 feet in elevation and 5530 feet in prominence. (5530 feet = 1,685.544 meters.) This difference in prominence makes Denali appear to rise up to nearly four times the height of PP.
