The 13er list is now fully adjusted to Lidar values for all 13ers and to List of John. We have included cross references to old elevations to help users keep better track of their ascents. See our Home page (Things You Should Know) for more details.
We are approaching the end of the main climbing season. As with any website, it takes money to keep this site going. Our Google data shows that over 30,000 people use this site regularly but less than .1% contribute. If you have profited from the use of this site this year, please consider a donation in any amount.
Note: While the San Luis quad shows an elevation of 13,285 ft., on sites estimates have concluded that there is a higher summit on the NE rocky section and that the survey map is missing a contour. LoJ has gone ahead and listed the elevation as 13,308 ft. per Lidar evaluation. G&M in the Third Edition still has the elevation as 13,285, hence, a lower ranking. Gerry Roach shows this as PT 13,300 A on his list.
While there is some dispute as to the actual elevation of this summit, it is still a 13er that cannot be argued. We rate it an easy Class 2 ascent from the West Willow Creek TH which is accessible to 4WD or higher clearance vehicles, unless you park back at the Equity Mine, (where passenger type vehicles can drive to) which will add about 2.5 miles round-trip to your hiking day.
