Geography
With a topographic prominence in the range of 292 to 332 feet (89 to 101 m), Mount Bross barely qualifies as an independent peak by the standard 300 foot prominence rule. It is often climbed together with Mount Lincoln and nearby Mount Democrat.[7]
In 2005, the summit of Mount Bross was closed to the public because of safety concerns related to mines and trail access through private land.[8][9][10]
