.... he would no doubt want to climb St Peters Dome

According to that trip report, it's a 350' rise from the saddle, making it ranked. Presumably, the contours are just stacked on each other. Anyone care to verify the elevation of the summit?

I didn't know Jeremy aid-climbed...

I think 350' refers to pitch lengths rather than prominence. Several reasons for this:
1) It only took two pitches to get to the low angle final contour
2) The pitches go diagonally
3) Pitch 1 is short (~50')
4) They were down in one 70m rappel (to a spot reachable by scrambling)


It seems to me the map shows a single contour above a bold contour, which would allow 5 additional contours if overlapped, giving it prominence of 280'.

Not sure how I missed this, but if I lived in Oregon, this would surely make it onto my "obscure but must be reached" summit list. :-D Like The Turret, in Douglas County. Nice!
