this map actually comes as a bit of a shock
since the tripoint has long been placed by the state department
& others at the summit of mt povalo shveikovski aka kokrash kol
whose altitude is given variously by them as 5698m or 5670m
yet the map not only gives the summit altitude as just 5543m
but it places the tripoint off on a shoulder southeast of the peak
at only 5523m
so we have lost at least our former certainty of a summit tripoint
but the whole afcn line is unmarked & is referred to as
conventional
by the state department
the meaning of which escapes me
but perhaps it just means not clearly delineated
but the map could be defective to that extent
if the tripoint really has been pinned to the summit
as the state department says it has
