Aug 14, 2021 at 18:05 comment added M. A. Golding @Edlothiad My answer says there is information to say that Mt. Doom was lower than the Ephel Duath and even lower than the passes in the Ephel Duath.
Aug 14, 2021 at 16:23 comment added M. A. Golding @Edlothiad I doubt that Mt. Doom was exceptionally tall in elevation. According to The Return of the Kings, it had an elevation of 4,500 feet.

Jul 31, 2020 at 12:17 comment added Edlothiad @OrangeDog I never stated that they were contenders for the tallest mountain or that they were in any particular order. I merely stated they were notable mentions. Mountains we know of, which are also described as tall. There's no information to say it wasn't taller than the Ered Lithui or the Ephel Duath. From its description it would suggest it was rather tall.
Jul 31, 2020 at 12:12 comment added OrangeDog Caradhras is only the tallest of the three peaks in that mountain range. Orodruin and Erebor are only notable because they are lone peaks rising out of surrounding plains. I don't think Mt Doom is taller than the ranges bordering Mordor, for example.
