	Hasn't voted	Williamson's ranking will go higher if the latest stats hold up. Instead of 14,375, it is now said to be 14,403. 5-17-2013:Well, this is a later addendum: The latest elevation for Williamson is now 14,379 Ft., so it has gained a reevaluation altitude of 4 feet, while Whitney gained 11 ft. Oh, by the way... Humphreys is now listed at 13,992 ft--just 8 ft. below 14er status. I wonder who the first climbers will be to try and raise a rockpile to that height... Of interest... North Palisade is listed at 14,248 ft. and White Mtn is listed at 14,252.

	Hasn't voted	Hi,Noondueler... Well, our hopes for Barnard regaining 14er status appears to have been shot down. It is still listed at 13,990. Even its status as California's highest 13er is gone--supplanted by Humphreys 13,992!

	Hasn't voted	Thanks rmac10. Do you know if any of the Colorado 14ers have been remeasured? I guess the old USGS elevations were done with transits and the new ones probably with radios on the summit. Humphreys definitely deserves 14er status. At least it gained 6 ft! lol Since the Sierra batholith lifts higher to the southeast, if it was further south it would easily be one.

Easy to ID coming down 395. Beautiful shot that captures the true colors at that time of year.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks Silvia. Mt. Whitney is the highest but Mt. Williamson is the biggest most impressive peak in the Sierra and second highest. 4380m It rises 3000m above Owens Valley. Cheers- Windsor
