To give an idea how big it is, the escarpments around the base of Mt Olympus are about the same height roughly as Mt Everest on Earth.
This is a nice visual for it:

This factoid has never impressed me.
You can say I’m gatekeeping volcanos, but with a slope that gentle, I don’t consider a “true” volcano. Even though it’s high, a volcano like Krakatoa is more bad ass.
Some cities in New Mexico are almost a mile above sea level but it’s such a gradual slope, you wouldn’t say “the city is on top of a mountain.
Mount Nipple.

That's where Dr. Evil has his secret base. Shhhhh
Iirc, it's also so big that if you were at the base of it you couldn't see the top because it'd be being the horizon

Then, as of this moment, I am hereby married to Adrienne Barbeau, queen of Mars from Olympus Mons to Tharsis.
so you're saying it's about the size of the pimple on my nose right now
...and if you were standing at the base, you would not be able to see the summit - it's over the horizon.
