Elevation

edit

Based on the elevation provided by the available Digital elevation models, SRTM (6371m[2]), SRTM2 (6375m[3]), ASTER (6360m[4]), SRTM filled with ASTER (6375m[5]), TanDEM-X(6402m[6]), and also a handheld GPS survey by Maximo Kausch on 12/2009 (6380 meters),[7] Ramada seems to be 6384 meters above sea level.[8][9]

The height of the nearest key col is 5177 meters[10] so its prominence is 1207 meters. Ramada is listed as group or massif, based on the Dominance system [11] and its dominance is 18.91%. This information was obtained during a research by Suzanne Imber in 2014.[12]
