A ceremonial moment for the Non-Standard 14er Podcast — our 58th episode, and we’re using it to ruin your summit résumé. We talk with Eric Gilbertson — engineering professor, global mountaineer, Centennial finisher, and, apparently, the man who just told every Colorado 14er climber: “Actually, that's not the true summit.”

Eric’s new measurements reveal that the true summit of Crestone Peak isn’t the one you’ve been posting selfies from — it’s East Crestone, a slightly higher point that’s been quietly judging us for decades. We talk about how 1800s surveyors got it wrong, how modern lasers got it right, and what happens to the sacred 14er list when science shows up with a tape measure.
