Is Spirit already at the summit as of sol 581?

Until now I was 100% sure about it. The "other summit" we see here (navcam: 2N177951055EFFADNDP0645R0M1, pancam: 2P177952739EFFADNDP2369R1M1) was below the horizon so it couldn't be higher then the current position...

But note that the images are taken from a vantage point 1.5m higher then the terrain -- the mast. And see what happens if we add a 1.5m high sort of "monolith" on the top of the other summit:

Taking this into account, that rock is some 0.78 deg above the horizon, which makes it higher then the present position.
