Topographic relief is modest as the summit rises 2,100 feet (640 m) above Jasper Lake in two miles (3.2 km) and 3,000 feet (914 m) above Cabin Creek in two miles. An ascent of the peak involves hiking seven miles (11 km) with 3,010 feet (917 m) of elevation gain. [ 5 ]
Since topographic maps typically show elevation using contour lines, the exact elevation is typically bounded by an upper and lower contour, and not specified exactly. Prominence calculations may use the high contour (giving in a pessimistic estimate [ 10 ] [ 11 ] ), the low contour (giving an optimistic estimate), their mean (giving a ...
