couchsachraga missing

The list of NY's 100 Highest Mountains omitted Couchsachraga Peak, elevation 3,820. (the shortest of the Adirondack 46ers).

Re: couchsachraga missing

I noticed that too, but might it be due to a lack of prominence? Although we all worked hard to get to the top of Couch to become 46ers, it's really just a bump on the ridge without a deep col between its summit and Santanoni. As I read Google Maps, its altitude should be 3680' at the highest contour, and it does look to barely meet the 200' prominence rule, so for me, it's in and we need 101 highest because the 3 lowest peaks all have the same elevation.

The Prominence Question

So if Couchsacraga is out due to the lack of a col, why not remove the other offenders: Iroquios, Gray, Armstrong, Donaldson, So. Dix, Emmons, and SW Hunter. The ADK 46ers use the "Historic" standard, not fact-based rules, but supposedly the AMC does...3500ers? Not sure.
