Additional 4k peak in VT

[RoySwkr]

http://mapper.acme.com/?ll=44.52616,-72.81512&z=16&t=T

A well-known peakbagger told me that someone was claiming that The Nose of Mt Mansfield should be a separate 4k peak, so I inquired for myself and this is what I found:

RS:
> Hi,
>
> I am trying to find the freestanding height of a pinnacle called The Nose
> on Mt Mansfield
>
> The USGS map shows "BM 3849" at the base of The Nose about .1 mi N of the
> summit, with a 4020 highest contour and no elevation of the summit marker
>
> NOAA marker PG1699 has a datasheet elevation of 4062.0 - is this
> comparable to the USGS elevation and if so why isn't there at 4040
> contour at least?


Dan Martin, NOAA:
>The height that is listed on the NOAA/NGS data sheet (4062.0 feet) is
>comparable to the USGS elevation. As it turns out, I was the one who
>observed the station and processed the data to publish that specific
>height as well as the updated published height for the summit mark on
>the chin (see description for "Mt Mansfield Highest Point" AE3691). The
>old height was published as 4393.2. My observations in 1996 show the
>height to be 4395.3 feet.

>In reading the description, it appears that the mark on the Nose is not
>at the highest point of the Nose, but is either 50 feet or 5 feet
>southeast of the highest point of the Nose. Both 50 feet and 5 feet are
>listed in the station recovery history. I am not sure why there is no
>spot elevation shown on the USGS quad map.

>As far as why the 4040 contour is missing, I have no answer. It is
>possible though that that contour was omitted since it cannot be shown
>on the east side of the nose. The east side of the nose is a nearly
>vertical cliff that contains the 4020 and 4040 contours. In that
>location, the two contours would plot on top of each other. However I
>agree that the 4040 contour should be plotted on the south, west, and
>north extents of the nose.

Hopefully when the AMC adds this peak they will delete the impostor South Hancock

Lin Neifert, USGS:

>My guess is that the 4040 contour was edited off the map due to the number of features in
>the area. With the cliff the contours would have been feathered together. Along with the
>road, it may have been confusing. An editor in the Cartography unit most likely removed
>them to create a readable map.

Kewl stuff! Based on the time it took to update to the latest lists, we might not be around anymore when it finally happens

Works for me, A bunch of us hiked up to the Nose, even when it was officially closed cause the folks were working on the towers up there....

Mansfield Nose

A few years ago I got the detailed topo data of the nose and col from the civil engineering firm working on the preliminary plan for the tower relocation job. It confirmed my suspicion that the nose seems to qualify as a 6th VT 4. I've kept quite about it, thinking that once the relocation was finished, and hopefully the nose was officially opened, the news would come out. I too have been up there, a great little hike with wonderful big steps coming down off the northwestern corner.

I hope so, that would make the nose my first 4K instead of my first failed attempt of a 4K. (trust me you don't want to know the details of why a 27 year old who did small hikes previously, learned after that hike in the rain & fog to learn a topo map.)

I found myself on the nose in the fog & upon getting back to park HQ at Underhill saw & understood the topo lines. Went back two weeks later for the Chin.

Hopefully when the AMC adds this peak they will delete the impostor South Hancock

I think that it would be a shame to remove South Hancock from the list; with the two saddles between the twp peaks, the total elevation gain/loss is at least 280 ft, so that is enough for me.

You know it, me and my yellow monte carlo..

but jay,
the nose is closed....did you not see the signs? i would never do that.

 

[TEO]

but jay,
the nose is closed....did you not see the signs?

It is? I've only seen signs saying that the radiation exceeded Canadian standards for exposure. My understanding is that with the installation of the new digital towers, the hot zones the hot zones were not eliminated, as initially hoped for, but were significantly reduced.

It should be noted that the alpine flora has made a significant recovery since the closure of the Triangle Trail and that visitors should, as always, be extremely careful to remain on rocks.

 

[nartreb]

I was on the Nose two weekends ago. There are lots of signs warning about radiation but nothing that says you're not permitted to be there. There are also some faded blue blazes.

Edit to add: it seemed obvious that there was once a trail down the northwest ridge of the nose, but I didn't attempt to follow it down nor find its lower end. Was that the Triangle Trail?



I don't recall whether I noticed any benchmarks on the Nose. this photo shows what I thought might be the highest point on the Nose, and seems to rule out a benchmark five feet to the southeast of that point. The triangle mark on the USGS topo is much more than 5 feet southeast of this point - 50 is a possibility though it's hard to be sure with a missing contour line.

And yes, that northeastern cliff is quite steep

It was closed (a sawhorse across the trail) at the time cause there were actually workers climbing the towers that are there and the radiation signs too (but I would think that perhaps they were actually offline due to the workers???)

Yup,
i have only been up there twice this summer, but both times the nose was "closed". not an official closing of the nose, they were (and always seem to be) working on the towers.

I'm aware that the FKT for the Vermont 6ers, of 19 hours (trailhead to last summit), was set on 28 July 2007. I expect Jan Wellford will lower that time by quite a considerable amount, however, it should be noted that the record holders spent some time grazing at the Cabot outlet in Waterbury, significantly slowing their pace. All future record attempts should include a stop at the Cabot outlet.

Non-sequiturs don't set FKT's.

[bikehikeskifish]

I went there 9/19/2008 (Trip Report) as part of my bagging The Chin. As I mentioned at the time, I went looking for an old trail on NG TOPO! because I didn't have a recent map - presumably it was the closed Triangle Trail. I just went up past the maintenance buildings and down the cliff - and at the bottom of the cliff it was blocked off. There are remains of benchmarks and faint blue paint blazes on The Nose.

PG1699'3 FEET HIGH. THIS STATION IS ONLY 3 FEET FROM THE EDGE OF
PG1699'CLIFF.
PG1699'
PG1699'A PIER OF SOLID CONCRETE TRIANGULAR IN FORM, WAS BUILT OVER
PG1699'THE BOLT ABOUT 4 FEET HIGH AND THE STATION WAS MARKED ON
PG1699'THE TOP OF THE PIER BY A WIRE SPIKE (BEING TRANSFERRED FROM
