The exact summit of Breckenridge can be a little confusing: the map shows a single 7,560-foot contour on the middle summit, the one directly west of the eastern summit where the lookout is located. However, the eastern summit does have a very pronounced rock outcrop with a pillar of rock on top that could very well be the true highpoint. I climbed this rock and sighted west to the other area and nothing there looked higher. I also hiked up that hill and sighted back, and my gut tells me the pillar on the east summit outcrop is probably the HP.
