Where does the 21,300' claim come on the 1905 expedition? Any references? In Crowley's autobiography he claimed around 25,000'.
The first few paragraphs suggest that this is the second highest peak in Nepal and also the tallest in India. This is confusing. Does the border travel directly over the peak? Perhaps there a standard way of assigning peaks to countries that allows this. Can someone clear this up?--Malcohol 15:38, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Unfortunately and confusingly, the border _does_ pass over the peak of Kanchenjunga. The same goes for Mount Everest as well, which defines the border between Tibet and Nepal. To the best of my knowledge, there is no unambiguous way to resolve this. -- Amar 11:33, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
- This kind of thing happens all the time, and the wording is standard. Borders are often formally defined as "all lands drained by X River", which means that a great many summits are in two countries. Stan 14:28, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
