I suppose, given the 200m contour interval, Nuon (as we're calling
it) and Gbaam could be approximately the same height. Gbaam is 1385m,
and black-triangle-Nuon could be 1400m without showing another
contour loop. But the summit we're seeing in the picture looks
several hundred metres lower than where the people on the col are
standing. I think this view is likely to be SW beyond Gbaam or NE
beyond Nimba - as you say, at the end of the chain.
