Try to find Gilbert Peak (almost due east, but not quite and would be the most distant peak labeled in the photo) from Lookout Peak on the heywhatsthat site.
Well, I tell you what I have done, and I think heywhatsthat is doing better. I marked XY position of Gilbert on the image and then marked the mountain which was there & looked sort of right. However it appears that it was Windy Ridge, judging from the Visibility Cloak map of their. Gilbert might have been one pixels too low behind - or possibly one pixel higher but not high enough to be resolved as an independent spot according to their tech specs (which I haven't studied). The easiest resolution of the issue would be to recalc xy values for both Gilbert and Windy, and to see which one is higher. I have a recollection that I have actually done just that, but no time to dig it out now. Off to the Caribbean in the morning
