In Mount Yurch, we discover it is the tallest mountain in Ghyll ("Mount Yurch is 18,764 nanits tall, making it about 4,000 nanits taller than Mount Rotyg"). Your particular entry, however, makes Kluvat Peak about ten times bigger than that: 16 (nanits) * 9 (unanits) * 11 (kunanit) * 70.7 (lunanits) = 110800 (nanits). Is that the right calculation? If so, this entry would need to be revised: a) use nanits for a measurement, b) make sure it's smaller than 14,764 nanits. --Morbus Iff 08:56, 28 Feb 2005 (EST)
Using my math I get 70.7 * 11 * 9 * 16 = 111988.8 nanits but that still makes it taller. I used an actual mountain in the Appalacians for my model - Mt.

The Grimm Mr Yurch is a mere (18764 * 20 /1000 =) 375 meters tall. Hardly a daunting climb by my reckoning. Perhaps nanits aren't the best measurements for mountains after all?

| Mountain Name | Height (lunanits) | Height (meters) |

| Mount Yurch | 11.84 | 375.28 |
| Mount Rotyg | 9.32 | 295.28 |
