I like the concept of highpointing more than the actual climbing of summits. That&#8217;s why I find myself occasionally visiting sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/peakbagger.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">peakbagger.com<\/a> and examining things like its <a href=\"https:\/\/peakbagger.com\/ListIndx.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Peak Lists<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I admit it, I lifted many of the ideas for today&#8217;s article from its <a href=\"https:\/\/peakbagger.com\/list.aspx?lid=190\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Selected World City High Points<\/a>, and I&#8217;d do it again. City highpoints never get much attention. They fall way down on the pecking order behind national, state and county highpoints. I decided to give a few city highpoints the attention they deserved. Here I ordered my list from lame to grand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unnamed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/rW8N188UHZWJHN626\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/toronto-highpoint.png\" alt=\"City of Toronto Highpoint. Screen Print from Google Maps 3D taken in 2017\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Toronto didn&#8217;t appear on that peakbagger list. Nonetheless I felt I should take a look anyway. The Canadian city with its largest population certainly deserved some attention. A great city in a great nation undoubtedly marked its highest elevation with a spectacular monument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, no, not really. Toronto&#8217;s maximum elevation is 212 meters (696 feet) and it barely rises above the surrounding terrain. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peakbagger.com\/peak.aspx?pid=6549\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trip reports<\/a> describe an underwhelming experience, essentially walking onto a field (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/FL6s7Y8jMg4rSSCE8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>) directly across the road from York University. I did notice that a regular Twelve Mile Circle reader posted one of the trip reports so that was a nice bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The generally flat field covered a large reservoir of underground oil tanks. It seemed odd, as I considered it, that sports fields would sit atop oil tanks, although I supposed it must have been safe or they wouldn&#8217;t have done it. The fields serve as home base for the <a href=\"https:\/\/torontoazzurri.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Toronto Azzurri Soccer Club<\/a>, with the specific highpoint found on what they called the West Fields. I can never remember where people call the sport Soccer and where they call it Football. Apparently Canada went with the soccer variation, or at least one club in Toronto did. I&#8217;m sure the Canadian 12MC audience will correct me if I&#8217;m wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I doubted that any kids kicking soccer balls across a field atop oil tanks appreciated their exalted location upon Toronto&#8217;s summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chancery Lane at High Holborn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dgeezer\/14829350794\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/3885\/14829350794_91cf518921_b.jpg\" alt=\"City (High Holborn, 22m). Photo by diamond geezer; (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Peakbagger suggested a highpoint for London, England although I disagree. Peakbagger focused on Greater London and I&#8217;ll get to that in a moment. I wanted the actual City of London, a <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=1691\">very tiny area<\/a> of barely more than a square mile. The possibility of an exciting highpoint within such a small urban footprint seemed remote. It met my paltry expectations and nothing more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The actual spot registered maybe a notch better than Toronto only because it fell within a fairly busy, seemingly dynamic area. The highpoint summited on the eastern side of Chancery Lane near its junction with High Holborn (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/cTggk8RPWAv3vPb28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). It registered a measly elevation of 22 m (72 ft).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who &#8220;climbed&#8221; to the summit recorded some interesting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hill-bagging.co.uk\/gpshill.php?qu=S&amp;rf=5571\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trip reports<\/a>. One person said, &#8220;<em>I&#8217;d walked across this pavement summit several times whilst working in London, without realising it was a high point<\/em>.&#8221; Another offered a recommendation to future climbers, &#8220;<em>Suggest you do this one from Chancery Lane tube station, then at least you walk slightly uphill to it<\/em>.&#8221; Everyone seemed rather unimpressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Westerham Heights appeared as the highpoint on the Peakbagger list (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/YF9iqTrdoqV3Ey1u7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>), at 245 metres (804 ft). However, that applied to Greater London, comprised of all 32 London boroughs plus the City of London. It wasn&#8217;t much more spectacular either, at 245 m (804 ft), &#8220;A rather unpleasant high point opposite Westerham Heights Farm; on a blind bend, the verge of a fast dangerous road, the A233.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mount Lukens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vahemart\/33512310304\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4167\/33512310304_016bcc20f6_b.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Lukens, view from Beaudry Loop. Photo by Vahe Martirosyan; (CC BY-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar situation appeared in Los Angeles, California although the highpoint was much more prominent. I didn&#8217;t want the Los Angeles <em>county<\/em> highpoint, Mount San Antonio (aka Mount Baldy) at an impressive 3,068 m (10,064 ft). I wanted the <em>city<\/em> highpoint. The summit of Mount Lukens (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/X15iJKA3WZQJvzVR9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>) reached 1,547 m (5,074 feet). While it didn&#8217;t reach quite the same stature as Mount Baldy, it still hit a pretty good altitude. At least it was a real mountain, too. It <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitpost.org\/mount-lukens\/154665\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sounded amazing<\/a>, actually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Mount Lukens stands majestically above the Crescenta Valley as the western most peak of the San Gabriel Mountains front range&#8230; It&#8217;s western flank drops over 3,000 feet affording terrific views of the San Fernando Valley to the southwest and the Verdugo Mountains and the Los Angeles Basin to the south. On exceptional days both the south and west facing beaches can be seen.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>That made Los Angeles a city with one of the highest elevations of the <a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.usgs.gov\/gip\/Elevations-Distances\/elvadist.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">50 largest cities<\/a> in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Montmartre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/heroesbed\/6166680521\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/6153\/6166680521_b28ee85803_b.jpg\" alt=\"Montmartre. Photo by heroesbed; (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Montmartre, the highest point of elevation in Paris, France, impressed me the most (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/Rxuv6EZ4wLB9p85D7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). A highpoint should look like this. It actually fell outside of the city limits until 1860 when it was annexed to become part of the 18th arrondissement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the summit climbed only 130 m (430 ft), French authorities took full advantage of the situation. What does one do with such a prominent peak? Stick a basilica atop it and make it look even taller! The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacre-coeur-montmartre.com\/english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Basilica of Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur<\/a>, dedicated to the sacred heart of Jesus, underwent construction on Montmartre between 1875 and 1914. What a lovely setting. No wonder artists such as Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet spent time on Montmartre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not much of a highpointer, and a begrudging one at best, although I maintain a kinship with those who follow this pursuit.
