This is the page most often used, since it is referenced directly by links from each of the SOTAWatch Summit pages. [3] In addition to being able to view various SOTA Associations, Regions and individual summits, the page offers the exporting or downloading of such data in GPX (for import into a GPS device) or KML (for importing into Google Earth) formats.
The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. [1] [2] The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. [3] [2] The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of ...
Denali is the third most topographically prominent and third most topographically isolated summit on Earth after Mount Everest and Aconcagua. The following sortable table comprises the 477 mountain peaks of the United States with at least 3,000 m (9,843 ft) of topographic elevation and at least 500 m (1,640 ft) of topographic prominence.

The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. [4] [3] The second table below ranks the 50 most prominent summits of greater North America. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. [5]

The prominence of a peak is the minimum height of climb to the summit on any route from a higher peak, or from sea level if there is no higher peak. The lowest point on that route is the col. For full definitions and explanations of topographic prominence, key col, and parent, see topographic prominence. In particular, the different definitions ...
The precise meaning of the name Tehachapi Pass is often a source of confusion. Technically (i.e., as noted on USGS topographic maps), the name refers to the narrowest part of the canyon on the eastern approach to the summit (as at San Gorgonio Pass), where the elevation is about 3,771 feet (1,149 m).
