Interesting trivia note:
The direct-line distance between the two summits is 1495 feet.
This places it second after the two Mox peaks (1473 ft).
The two Sluiskin Mountain summits come in third (1505 ft).
Honorable/special mention: Unicorn Peak and Unicorn Horn in the Olympics are 1203 ft apart but the latter summit has only 350 ft of clean prominence. It has 400 ft of mean prominence. So if Unicorn Horn truly does have 400 ft or prominence it would be #1 on the list, thus making the Barings #3.
(The distances are admittedly only as accurate as how well I can place crosshairs on the actual highest point on each summit.)
It's wonderful to see a new page for this peak. I looked closely at the route when I was there but we didn't have a rope. I've thought about going back ever since.
