Yeah, the part of Andrast counts as well - and if you look at it, it's really long then. The part of the Mountains of the Sun you mentioned is right as well. I could also add that we have no information about the length of Orocarni - the Mountains of the East, where Cuiviénen was. I don't know if they survived the First Age or other cataclysms (the drowning of Númenor, specifically), but I'd guess they also wouldn't be as short.
Nevertheless, I think the Hithaeglir was possibly the highest at least of all the mountains showed on the LotR map.
