Peaks climbed by bromberg

Peak List:

California Thirteeners
All California peaks at least 13,000 feet tall that also rise at least 300 feet above all saddles connecting them to higher peaks (i.e., all California 13,000-foot peaks with at least 300 feet of prominence).

Passing Criteria:

Best available data
(VRMC passing criteria)
First available datum from the following sources:

1. Spot elevation as published on a USGS quadrangle.

2. Field altimeter measurement of prominence (used only for prominence).

3. Highest point (or saddle point) near location in 10m DEMs, if consistent with contours (or nearly so).

4. Highest contour below summit (or lowest contour above saddle) as published on a USGS quadrangle.

Marginality Criteria:

Spot or contours
(VRMC marginality criteria)
First available datum from the following sources:

1. (Zero margin for spot elevations published on USGS quadrangles.)

2. Field altimeter error margin (used only for altimeter-based prominence).

3. Contours immediately above and below location as published on a USGS quadrangle.
