Großes Wiesbachhorn
It's vertical rise is one of the greatest in Eastern Alps but not the greatest: it rises about 2300 m over the valley floor in about 3.7 km of horizontal distance but Monte Antelao (Dolomites) rises about 2400 m over the valley in similar distance (3.8 km) also Piz Gallagiun (Bernina Range) rises about 2500 m in about 4 km.

Rakaposhi
According to Google Earth Rakaposhi is 11.2 km from Hunza (closest point), which flows at an elevation of about 1880-1890 meters. So vertical relief is even more impressive (5900 meters instead of 5800 meters).

Denali
Denali is not the largest in terms of base-peak elevation gain. Mountains like Rakaposhi, Dhaulagiri and Nanga Parbat have even bigger vertical relief over local terrain.
