2.2 km lower than Mount Everest and it's further from the Earth's center due to the equatorial bulge. That's quite a bulge.

What is the atmospheric density at the summit? I couldn’t find that in the article

It'd be pretty standard 20000 ft pressure. Air pressure is generally relative to the sea level. So no different than another mountain 20000ish ft high.

I think of the earth as a giant gob of clay on a pottery wheel. It spins, it bulges, but ultimately it looks mostly round from a distance. 2 km lower than sea level and/or atmospheric level but higher than the dead center of this gob of clay. Silly and fun.
