Not anymore. I upgraded to a gorgeous house in Ridgway like a filthy normie.

Re: East Crestone Second dGPS Survey
Well, put another way, if a point isn't named, it better either be ranked (i.e., have at least a 300' rise from its highest connecting saddle), or be the highest point in some kind of land jurisdiction, like a county. Otherwise, you aren't likely to find it documented anywhere (the whole soft-ranked issue notwithstanding).CheapCigarMan wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2026 5:10 pm
This would explain Evan's comment that, "The point in question doesn't fall into any of the categories 1-4 and is thus unacknowledged." But wasn't explained as to why it didn't fit in one of the categories.

At some point it just gets a bit much for every closed contour on a mountain to be considered a peak.

I had mostly given up on this thread but I'm glad I stopped in and saw the new map shared - an absolute classic!!
Now I gotta go climb the unnamed one and claim the right to name it!

Sorry David, it's not unnamed, it's literally named (unnamed).daway8 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2026 8:52 pmsupranihilest wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2026 4:32 pmBro what the f**k are you talking about, it's obvious, bro.Chicago Transplant wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2026 4:00 pm There are like 25 closed contours on Crestone Peak that are above 13k, plus a few over 12k (and a few on the Needle too).
