Prominence over 5000 ft?

[edit]

The prominence given in this page is inaccurate. I live in Glenwood Springs and, as a long-time mountaineer, understand what topographical prominence is (the vertical rise from the low point on highest connecting saddle with a higher peak). Though I don't know the exact rise for Storm King, it is much more likely to be in the range of five-hundred feet. Five thousand would put Storm King among the most prominent peaks in Colorado. Simply not true. JeremiahSchmidt (talk) 03:39, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Examining the topo map, it looks like 553 ft to me. --Footwarrior (talk) 00:11, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
