Mount Horace Greeley (MI)

John, great job on the Michigan peaks! I've been perusing them, and they look great. I found one potential error though...

Mt Horace Greeley (http://listsofjohn.com/PeakStats/Climbers.php?Id=135422) has "Sugarbush Hill-WI" listed as the Line Parent. Mount Horace Greeley is the highest point in the Keweenaw Peninsula which (Due to the Portage River that cuts through the south end) is effectively an island for saddle purposes. In light of that, wouldn't Mt. Benison (http://listsofjohn.com/PeakStats/Climbers.php?Id=135415) be the closest Line Parent (in addition to being the closest Proximity Parent)?

Given the criteria for peaks with multiple saddle candidates, I can't find a shorter route to anything in Wisconsin than Benison.

Thanks!

Mount Horace Greeley is not on an island - see the notes on the profile about the ship canal that was artificially dug out in 1865.
