Nice page, the Thomas Bannon bio is a nice touch. I'd like to read more about him, but the most detail I've come across is from the Lopez book. Information on the web is fairly limited, but Thomas Turiano's website does mention him a few times. In addtion to his extensive work in Idaho, including the first ascent of Borah Peak, Bannon is also credited with being the first to identify Gannett Peak as the highest point in Wyoming.
Nice page. I have one minor correction- the elevation should actually be 9880 or 9900 (mean elevation). If you look at the topo closely you'll see that there is a 9880+40 contour near the 9856 BM elevation. Overall it looks good.
