Terrain from Google at www.peakware.com. On the basis of the terrain map from peakware, Danau Lau Kawar is at about 1400m, and the peak is at 2450m. The hike/climb was about 1km vertically! We took 3.5 hours to get up and 3.5 hours to come down.

Earth Quake
Just a side note, as we were leaving Danau Toba to go to Medan, an magnitude 7.2 earth quake shook Northern Sumatra/Aceh Province near Meulaboh at 12.59pm local time. We were in a bus and did not feel the quake at all!
