1 The Mount Evans and Grays Peak prominence ranges overlap. Assuming a uniform distribution for their true saddle elevations, there is a 47.5% probability that Mount Evans' prominence exceeds that of Grays Peak. As Grays Peak is farther, there is only a roughly one-in-two chance that it belongs to the true distance-based prominence hierarchy.
