How is this survey disk not already in the waypoint database? There are three waypoints of interest at the summit of Mount Marcy (the highest point in New York state): this survey disk, a second survey disk that was pried out, but is still listed on the benchmarks database, and a bronze plaque describing the first ascent of this peak by any European imigrant. These coordinates are only for the survey disk PG2096.
