Editing Pico Duarte (section)

==History==
The first reported climb was made in 1851 by a [[Germans|German]] who was British [[Consul (representative)|consul]]: Sir [[Robert Hermann Schomburgk]].<ref name=Baker2009/> He named the mountain "Monte Tina" and estimated its height at {{Convert|3140|m}}. In 1912, Father Miguel Fuertes dismissed Schomburgk's calculations after climbing La Rucilla and judging it to be the tallest summit of the island. A year later, Swedish botanist [[Erik Leonard Ekman]] sided with Schomburgk's estimate, and called the sister summits "Pelona Grande" and "Pelona Chica" ("Big Bald One" and "Small Bald One", respectively). During the [[Rafael Trujillo|Rafael Trujillo Molina]] regime, the taller of the two was called "Pico Trujillo". After the dictator's death, it was renamed Pico Duarte, in honor of [[Juan Pablo Duarte]], one of the Dominican Republic's founding fathers. At the summit is an east-facing bronze [[Bust (sculpture)|bust]] of Duarte atop a stone pedestal, next to a flagpole that flies the [[Flag of Dominican Republic|Dominican flag]] and a [[Christian cross|cross]].
