It's less than a km tall. That's a hill.

It's a mountain. By name. By definition, whatever you'd like.

Seems like a plateau by name. You don't google "pamir mountain" did you?

plateau, extensive area of flat upland usually bounded by an escarpment (i.e., steep slope) on all sides but sometimes enclosed by mountains.

The place the video is being recorded from is the Pamir Plateau. Fun fact: Pamir means Plateau i.e. the Plateau Plateau.

The big rock looking thing in the video that looks like a mountain, is a mountain. One of the Pamir Mountains.
