nolanr Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 According to Beckey the difference is just over 100 ft. (8800+ vs aprox. 8700). Saw the same figures in another book. Looking from around Colchuck Lake and further down the trail that doesn't look right, Dragontail seems much higher. I was on Dragontail Saturday and it sure seems to be more than 100 ft. higher than Colchuck from that vantage. What do ya'll think? Quote
Dru Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 That's what the plus means in 8800+. How come you didn't consult your trusty GPS? Quote
klenke Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Nolan, Looks like you answered your own question, if I'm reading your text right. Dragontail is about 140 ft higher than Colchuck and it looks as such from either peak's summit. Quote
nolanr Posted May 14, 2003 Author Posted May 14, 2003 Dru, didn't have a trusty GPS. It looked like more than 140 ft. to me. If I'm not mistaken Del Campo is about 400 ft. higher than Gothic, seemed like something more on that scale. Of course those 2 are seperated by less distance than Colchuck/Dragontail, and maybe the horizontal distance between threw me off. Doesn't matter much anyway, just an observation. Quote
