On lists of john, it's rated at 116, but with an elevation of 13,780 ft. Maybe there was a typo in the 13ers list? On peakbagger.com, its elevation is in a closed contour between 13,760 and 13,800 ft. 13,780 would be the average between the two, putting it at 116 on the 13ers.com list. Maybe that's why there's some discrepancy in its elevation, the summit being between two contours, but not having a specific benchmarked height other than that.
13780 would be the interpolated elevation between the two contour lines, aka #116 or tied. 13765 is probably someone's updated guess as to the elevation, though it could just be a typo. Mostly this just highlights the uncertainty in any ranking system.

I plan on making 13er list updates in the next month or so
