Old thread. I'm learning about benchmarks and NGS data. There is no BM listed for Mt. Inyo. But Keynot probably gets the nod. Datasheet on Monarch BM for...

Dear Richard Carey, I have considered a website devoted exclusively to prominence as the long-term repository for prominence-related information. Prominence is...
I'm just back from a birding trip to AZ - I managed to sneak in a couple of summits and wonder if anyone can help with the following? Sugarloaf, Chiricahua Nat...
(Rob Woodall) ... You can look up Sugarloaf Mountain on topozone. It gets a local 500'+ prominence. A "Hands Pass" at 6680- to the SE may be key saddle, thus...

[Andy:] ... Yes, but if you've been to two antipodal points, and walked in a tiny little circle around one of them, then you can claim the prize. However...
... It is interesting that the antipodal image of the CONUS lies entirely within the Indian Ocean, and doesn't even come close to any of the continents. In...
