Re: Weiskopf on size of mountains?



William H. Press made some estimations in `"Man's Size in Terms of Fundamental Constants," Am. J. Phys., 48, 597-8 (1980). Press acknowledges "interesting and helpful discussions" with Victor Weiskopf.

You might check Barrow and Tipler's The Anthropic Cosmological Principle. It has quite a few references.
