You have to use the Earth’s radius, not diameter. Did you remember to divide by 2?
(Edit: and add the radius to the height since you’re measuring from the base of the mountain, which is the center of the Earth when the mountain is that big… but that turns out to change the answer by much less than 1 degree of angle.)

What are you talking about? I used your angle.
That I just checked, and is correct.
