Eric Gilbertson is a mountaineer and peakbagger known for conducting high-precision GPS surveys of mountain elevations. His work has led to discoveries including a new highest point on Mount Rainier and a previously unrecognized Colorado 14er. Recently, he hauled 30 pounds of surveying equipment up Mount Whitney and Mount Muir to remeasure their elevations. He found Whitney’s elevation to be 14,500.7’. More interestingly, he measured Mount Muir at 14,028.4’ with 318.6’ of prominence, enough for it to join the 300’ prominence Sierra 14er club. Congrats to Mount Muir!
