Trail description
{
"section": "The Five Summits",
"corrections": [
{
"original": "Wildcat A, the highest point at 4,422 feet, anchors the northern end of the ridge and ranks among New Hampshire's official four-thousand footers.",
"corrected": "Wildcat A, a four-thousand footer at approximately 4,000 feet, anchors the northern end of the ridge and ranks among New Hampshire's official four-thousand footers.",
"reason": "Web sources confirm A is a 4,000 footer but do not support 4,422 feet elevation. The exact elevation of A is not specified in search results, but it is listed as official 4,000 footer."
},
{
"original": "The middle summits—B at 4,305 feet and C at 4,285 feet—actually rise higher than Peak D but lack sufficient topographic prominence to qualify as independent four-thousand footers.",
"corrected": "The middle summits—B at 4,305 feet and C at 4,285 feet—do not have the vertical prominence required to be part of the New Hampshire 4,000 footer list, unlike Peak D which is an official four-thousand footer.",
"reason": "Web source (franklinsites.com) confirms 4,305 feet for B and states it 'does not have the vertical prominence required.' Original phrasing suggesting B and C 'rise higher than Peak D' is not supported and appears incorrect."
