This mountain has the most extreme local relief on earth that I know of, not counting anything below sea level. From the Hunza River to the top is about 5900 m (19350 feet) vertical difference. Denali in Alaska is similar but it's surrounded by a large range of other high peaks. Rakaposhi is just straight up over a horizontal distance of only 12 km.
