VERTCON conversion

[edit]

I removed the datum conversion since the elevation is based on the highest topo map contour. Accuracy is ±20 meters (±65.6 ft). A five foot adjustment to an elevation that is so uncertain is meaningless, IMHO. It is more important to inform the reader of the lack of precision. So 4,000+ meters is good, I think. –droll [chat] 18:48, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you somehow mixed up Mount Humphreys with Red Slate Mountain. I agree with your reasoning, and applied your fix to that other article. —hike395 (talk) 02:15, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Possible 14,000+ Mountain?

[edit]

In the Mt Whitney article, it discusses the change in recent years due to more accurate measurements of it's peak elevation from 14,494 to 14,505. A similar change to Mt Humphreys edges it over 14,000 feet. Has the true elevation of Mt Humphreys been revisited with the most current technology?
