I think I read somewhere recently that Everest had actually risen in height,not sure about that.though.I do know that they measured K2 a couple of years ago by sattelite,and found that it was higher than Everest,but when they get round to measuring Everest in the same way that Everest will be higher than K2.Might be worth looking into.
