I cannot help but nitpick either. You're off by over 50% on your eastern mountains:

Mount Mitchell, NC: 6684 feet [1]

Mount Washington, NH: 6288 feet [2]

These eastern Mountains are indeed majestic, towering overhead when you look to ascend them. Mt Washington would stand in perfectly for Caradhras.

good catch, but add those two peaks together and they are still shorter than Mount Whitney.
