    Good Nz morning Matt. Another brilliant episode. Thanks. Um Google search tells me that Mt Sullivan is 731mt high. Or 2397ft.!! Down here, no hill gets the title of mountain, unless it's 2500 feet or higher. So Sullivan would just be that "hill" over there. It's gotta grow a bit yet. 😂 Imagine what the Nepalese would say.!!

      @@ADVENTUREISMADE Actually on hindsight, I seem to remember reading something, from "The Royal Geographical Society," I think it was...That to identify a hill as a "mountain" the height had to be of a set height, and recognized as such, internationally, for future cartographers. And I believe it was set at 2500 feet. In my youth, I worked on a sheep farm, where the highest point was 2500 feet. No name. Just another hill.!!
