It is surprisingly hard to get a straight answer about what happens to g on a mountain (http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/phy00/phy00905.htm). I guess it's in the paper, but what source(s) did you use to arrive at the 1.5E-13 figure?
It might be interesting to take another expedition of the same distance, speed, etc. but in a direction that would end up at the same altitude as your home lab. That way you'd presumbably be able to isolate the actual influence of the mountain. -- john, KE5FX > With the differential elevation gain I had available here > (between home and Mt Rainier is 1340 meters) the > predicted relativistic effect on the mountain was about > 1.5e-13.
