2. West Peak - Mt. Tamalpais
Posted by: "Jobe Wymore" lunasoars@aol.com

When I did the West Peak of Mt Tamalpais last year with Sam Grant, if I recollect correctly, it almost felt like the highest natural ground was to the east-northeast since everything inside the fence had been polished and paved. Hmmm. What do you remember Sam?

Jobe Wymore
---------------------

In 2000 I visited the east peak of Mt. Tamalpais and attempted the west peak. I went up to the fence on the east end of the south side. Brush was extremely thick and hard to work through. Examination of that portion of the fence showed the effort to get over/under/through it was more than I wanted to do, and that was all the effort I put into it.

Regards,
David Olson

blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } When I did the West Peak of Mount Tam last year with Jobe I remember after walking the perimeter of the fence we both felt like at one point we were higher than anything inside the fence. I don't recall where exactly that was but there was a point where the ground seemed to undulate slightly higher. We didn't take any readings to measure the elevation but we both felt good with calling it the highpoint.

The historic consensus seems to be the popular East Peak of Mount Tamalpias is the highest point in Marin County, CA at 2571'.  The West Peak, the story goes, was higher, but was blasted/bulldozed down to make room for a military installation and is now 2563' (according to Wikipedia).
Andrew Kirmse and I have come across a number of sources that appear to indicate that the West Peak, despite the man-made modifications, is actually still a couple feet higher than the usually-climbed East Peak.
This link leads to a super-detailed map of Marin County with 2-foot contours, presumably from LIDAR:http://www.marinmap.org/Html5Viewer/Index.html?viewer=mmdataviewerIt shows the West Peak at 2576' and even shows a point elevation at the equivalent 785.3 meters, higher than the East Peak at 2572'/784m.
This site talks about a movie called "The Invisible Peak" about clean-up efforts on the West Peak:Mt. Tam documentary 'The Invisible Peak' posted online

It says that the West Peak is 2574 and still is what remainsMarins highest spot. 
Finally, Bob Burd posted a trip report where he used his GPS to get readings at both places and found the West Peak 2 feet higher:  http://www.snwburd.com/bob/trip_reports/west_n2_1.html
If the West Peak is higher, that is a major bummer, since the top is a military/radar station and is fenced off and not easily accessed.  The 2-foot contour map seems to show that the two 276' contours are entirely within the compound, but reports are that the area inside the fence is pretty flat and most people feel good calling it a successful climb if they walk the entire fenceline.  I, like many others, have climbed only the East Peak (328 logged ascents on Peakbagger, vs. only 36 for the West Peak).
Does anyone else have any more authoritative information on this situation?  Perhaps some intrepid Californians with precise sight levels or other equipment could do some on-the-ground research.
