The following are approximations based solely on my own calculations using Google Earth.

The northeast ridge is 4825 m to its lowest point (6470 m):

8848-6470=2378 m rise / 4825 m distance = 49% gradient

The western ridge is 5536 m to its lowest point (5960 m):

8848-5960=2888 m rise / 5536 m distance = 52% gradient

The southern ridge is 1738 m to its lowest point (7905 m):

8848-7905= 943 m rise / 1738 m distance = 54% gradient

The eastern face is 4173 m to a point it slopes less steeply (5497 m):

8848-5497= 3351 m / 4173 m distance = 80% gradient

The northern face is 2624 m to a point it slopes less steeply (6342 m):

8848-6342= 2506 m rise / 2624 m = 95% gradient

The southwestern face is 1895 m to a point it begins to slope less steeply (6608 m):

8848-6608= 2240 m rise / 1895 m distance = 118% gradient
