This peak is not in the book. LOJ and Peakbagger list the elevation as 8,118 feet based on a spot elevation on the Grave Peak USGS quadrangle. The high point is 50 feet to the north of the spot elevation. Like many peaks in the Idaho batholith, granite boulders and columns often are the high point, not where the spot elevation is shown. In this case, it is a boulder which is at least three feet higher than the spot elevation. Published July 2021
