Elevation edit
Based on the elevation provided by the available Digital elevation models, SRTM (6274m[5]), ASTER (6251m[6]), SRTM filled with ASTER (6274m[6]), ALOS (6251m[7]), TanDEM-X(6318m[8]), and also a handheld GPS survey by Maximo Kausch on 10/2012 (6285 metres),[9] Reclus is about 6300 metres above sea level.[9][1]
The height of the nearest key col is 5,502 m (18,051 ft).[9] so its prominence is 798 metres. Reclus is listed as mountain subgroup or massif, based on the Dominance system [3] and its dominance is 12.67%. Its parent peak is Bonete Chico and the Topographic isolation is 20.7 km.[1] This information was obtained during a research by Suzanne Imber in 2014.[10]
