Taller people would be able to bag more 14ers, and the dwarfs would riot.

Roach and others consider a peak to be prominent if it rises >300 feet above the low point in the saddle. It is interesting to note that USGS had added five feet to the elevations of all three Chicago Basin 14ers. I think its fair to say that the adjusted elevation (NAVD 88) of the Spire is 14,000'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17548084.post-16537325423676365962007-11-26T10:18:00.000-07:002007-11-26T10:18:00.000-07:00But doesn't it have to be 3,000 feet from the next...But doesn't it have to be 3,000 feet from the next 14er to qualify (according to CMC) as an individual peak?
