Elevation

edit

The current topographic map shows an elevation of 3,929 metres (12,890 ft). On older topographic maps the elevation is given as 12893 feet and this is elevation is reported by Secor. I doubt there has been any recent survey, so the elevation reported in LoJ of 12890 feet is probably a result of rounding due to conversion. The prominence of 652 feet is a mean prominence based on the recent topo map metric contour lines. I went with LoJ to avoid original research. –droll [chat] 00:27, 1 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
