Nice and interesting addition. I have often wondered about Mendelkamm. However, the first sentence is not correct. The highest mountain of the Nonsberg Group is Große Laugenspitze. Even if it looks like it should belong to the Ortler Group it doesn't. Geotectonics: the peradriatic fault divides the Nonsberg from the Ortler Group.
Hmm? That's interesting. But I guess there must be also different interpretations.
The Wikipedia says about Mendelkamm: "Der Mendelkamm verläuft vom Gampenpass (1518 m s.l.m.) südlich von Meran, der den Kamm vom Laugen trennt und das Etschtal mit dem Deutschnonsberg verbindet, zunächst in einem leichten Bogen nach Südosten...".
And later in the same article: "...zum höchsten Berg des Mendelkamms, dem Roen (2116 m), an.".
Also I found that some articles attribute Monte Luco / Laugenspitze to the Ortler group, some others to the Mendelkamm.
And finally - there are many cases where geographical grouping of mountains does not follow the geological evidence. For example: half of the Karawanks should geologically belong to Austroalpine and only the other half to the Southern Alps.
So, I'm a bit confused now and would still prefer to wait a little with changing that first sentence.
Hehe, you have the same problem that I have, when I put Laugenspitze in the Ortler Group and Matthias Zehring told me I was wrong. I looked it up and found that Hofmahdjoch is the separation between both groups. I think I found it in Alpenvereinsführer Ortleralpen.

Thanks for your review!

Re: Not the highest of the Nosberg GroupOK, I trust you and Matthias - so, I'll do the correction in the text.
Cheers,
