How accurate is this?

132 m low This 3D map reads 2,003 m at the summit; the official height is 2,135 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 137 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	2,135 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	2,003 m	-132 m
