Elevation is probably closer to 13,533'/4125mAlthough this peak was apparently surveyed at 13,588' for the old Mt. Whitney 15' USGS quadrangle, the new Mt. Brewer 15' has only the 4120m contour surrounding it. The Mt. Brewer USGS 10m Digital Elevation Model puts the summit at 4125m (13,533'), so that's likely closer to the actual summit elevation.
