Talk:Dhaulagiri

message: Into Thin Air lists Dhaulagiri as the sixth highest mountain in the world, while this article lists it as the seventh.  But I have the hardcover version, dated November 1996, so has another mountain been discovered, or it is just a first printing edition mistake? Hbdragon88 02:51, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: If you do not count Lhotse as a separate mountain (which is defensible, although virtually no one makes that choice) then Dhaulagiri becomes number 6. Also, the heights of Dhaulagiri and Manaslu are not known precisely enough to be certain that Manaslu is not higher; this would make Dhaulagiri number 8. All that said, the standard listing has Dhaulagiri at number 7. -- Spireguy 16:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Can anybody tell the parent mountain of Dhaulagiri regarding prominence? There are sources that claim it's Mount Everest, but could this be correct? The highest ridge from Dhaulagiri to Everest would much likely pass over Cho Oyu first, wouldn't it? Thanks in advance--Rupert Pupkin (talk) 01:06, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The parent of Dhaulagiri is K2, according to the List of peaks by prominence. I think that's correct, although it's been years since I traced the relevant divides. I do know it's a close call, with the col linking to Cho Oyu/Mount Everest not being much lower than the col linking to K2. So since it's almost a toss-up, and since all possible parents are far away, it's one of the situations where the prominence parent has relatively little significance (i.e. it doesn't provide you with much extra information). -- Spireguy (talk) 02:17, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The information at mongabay is not correct. To draw a line from Dhaulagiri to Everest you have to go at least as low as Mustang Lo, 4594m. The line from Dhaulagiri to K2 is longer but can remain as high as a remote 4810m pass on the Tibet plateau. I carried out the research in 2004 using SRTM data. It was independently confirmed by another researcher. Viewfinder (talk) 03:18, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ooops. I obviously totally forgot about my question some month ago. That happens when you don't watch your watchlist... Shame on me. And thank you guys very much for your help. But I'm not sure if I can agree with the statement about little significance. I myself (at least) find it rather interesting to know that - derived from that fact - the Kali Gandakhi Valley is such a deep cut into the continent. Annapurna and Dhaulagiri are standing very close together, they look like siblings but no, they have different parents. That's something :-) --Rupert Pupkin (talk) 18:48, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello.  With no other knowledge than what's provided in the table and the footnotes, it looks to me like ranking Dhaulagiri VI at number 72 is in error because Dhaulagiri VI does not meet the 500m prominence criterion.  Should it be Churen Himal (Main) instead?Wikimedes (talk) 22:00, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Yes the 72 rank belongs to Churen Himal (main). I have made the correction. Good catch. --Racerx11 (talk) 23:28, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

text: There is another issue. It shows Churen Himal (main) with question mark under first ascent and List of highest mountains has it first climbed in 1970. I will look into this as well unless you or someone else has the solution. --Racerx11 (talk) 23:28, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually it says "unknown" but in any case, it appears the descrepancy about if and when it was climbed has something to do with the differing sources on the elevation of these peaks as noted in the footnotes. I am unsure what correction, if any, is needed. Racerx11 (talk) 23:40, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ongulpenguin, your edits on Dhaulagiri, Kukuczka and Eight-thousander‎ you are doing on all wikis are wrong. A "winter ascent" means starting from 21 December. For this types of records we don't consider ascents in "winter condition" but only ascents from 21 December (=winter season). Cya. --Rotpunkt (talk) 15:30, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
