The highest hundred by the metric system

[Layne Bracy]

Since the 300' prominence rule is based on the English system, I wondered how using a 100 meter prominence rule would change our peak lists. (Yes, too much extra time on my hands!) 100m is about 328'

Well, we would lose 2 14ers and one centennial 13er. Mt Bross, Challenger Pt, and "Thunder Pyramid" get the boot. To fill the void in the high 100, Niagara, American & Trinity get promoted.

The high 200 would lose 9 peaks. In addition to the 3 that got moved up, Pt 13722, Pk 15, Monitor Pk, Wheeler Mtn, Wood Mtn, and Mt Champion all fall between 300' and 328' of prominence.

The dilemma of the "high 202" is now resolved, as all 5 13580's are now fully bicentennials. Seven of the tri's then get promoted - Chiefs Head, Greylock, Rosalie, Parnassus, Broken Hand, West Apostle, and Pt 13566. (Mt Evans B and Pt 13577 stood in line for promotion but did not make 100m.)

Now, what if the 3000' rule became the 1km rule....?

thats all very interesting Layne, looks like an improvement to me.
Some one needs to start a U.S.A. Metric Mountain List web site.
