I always like to say the Mauna Loa volcano, which from base to peak is 1-2,000 feet higher than Mt. Everest. 16,000 ft. of it is below sea level though hehe. \n\nThe wording of the question prolly means Everest is a better answer but, everyone else already answered Everest anyways hehe.

The first person reputed to have walked around the world is George Schilling (USA), in 1904. The first verified walker was David Kunst who, from June 20, 1970, to October 5, 1974, walked 23,250 km (14,450 miles) over four continents. Since completing the first verified walk around the earth Dave has been telling his World Walk Adventure Story at schools and clubs across the USA and Australia.

For all the rest of you folks: Mt. Everest is the highest mountain in the world.  The tallest, from base to summit happens to be Mauna Kea, the highest point in Hawaii, measured from the ocean floor.. It measures 13,796 ft above sea level plus another 16,000 ft below sea level.  That makes it: 29,796 ft total. Remember, the mountain is mostly submerged under the ocean.  Mt. Everest is only measured from sea level at 29.028 ft.
