What is the height of Mount Everest?

Blinky, Climbers usually start their climb from base camps at 5000 metres.

Everest will continue to grow because of the continuing collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Blinky, if humans were extinct from the earth it would rise further and be measured in foot and inches for the snails to understand.

So that's written in Stone !! the tectonic plates have not moved,shifted up or down .(ref earthquakes in last 5yrs) and sea level isn't rising.???

How high is Everest if it is measued from foot-level of the mountain instead of from sea level?

Iron, half and half!

RegretfulHuman68, most... but not all.
