And that dominates things, yes. But then it has no competition.

I just did some sums, and shocked myself. Kero Fin is 37K feet high. Quivin peak is 7K. If you're at about 3K yourself (in the Sartar hills), from what position can you see Kero Fin *behind* Quivin?

And the answer is almost all of them... The head of Killard Vale, for instance. Quivin is directly in your way. It's close. And the top of Kero Fin is *still* visible behind it.

I may have to find some spare time (wassat?) and model this...
