And just you wait till Titan gets older...that mountain is going to be having constant avalanches, and its crust will be under constant strain. Gravity always wins.

I think that for a single mountain approximating it as a cylinder/pyramid with an average slope of around 45 degrees wouldn't be too bad.

But mountains are usually found in mountain ranges on earth.

So yeah, I would just grab a map of the Alps or so and look at the general dimensions.

You finish ripping the human corpse of Sigmund into pieces.

Sure, if you like that kind of thing. You know, those are mostly just silicon(e).

Real dwarves like volcano.  Fiery under the surface so you can have magma forges.

If there's any cause worth dying for, it's memes.
