Columbia Point ( 4 261m /13 980ft) subpeak of Kit Carson Peak. It was known informally as Kat Carson, but was officially named Columbia Point in 2003 to honor the seven astronauts who died when the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated during re-entry on February 1, 2003. With a topographic prominence of at least 320 ft (98 m), it just qualifies as a separate summit under the standard cutoff, but it is not a well-known peak.
