Well, mountains are limited in their theoretical height by several processes. First is isostasy: the bigger a mountain gets, the more it weighs down its tectonic plate, so it sinks lower. The second is called the "glacial buzzsaw": the taller and colder a peak, the faster snow and ice will wear it away.
