Some surveys list MacNaughton Mountain at 4000 feet (1219 m), and some thus argue that it should be included in the high peaks. However, other surveys list the mountain at 3983 feet (1214 m), and members of the 46er club are reluctant to change the list because of tradition.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or peaks:
“Men are in the main alike, but they were made several in order that they might be various. If a low use is to be served, one man will do nearly quite as well as another; if a high one, individual excellence is to be regarded.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“John Brown and Giuseppe Garibaldi were contemporaries not solely in the matter of time; their endeavors as liberators link their names where other likeness is absent; and the peaks of their careers were reached almost simultaneously: the Harper’s Ferry Raid occurred in 1859, the raid on Sicily in the following year. Both events, however differing in character, were equally quixotic.”
—John Cournos (1881–1956)
