Closest Points

I have 2 lists of points - one is around 1600 long, the other 6. I want to measure the distance from the 1600 to the closest point from the list of 6.

So far I've only managed to get the distance from all 1600 to all 6, but not limit the distance to only the closest point.

Any ideas?

Firstly, thank you very much for your time, but that only outputs 6 distances? Thats basically the closest point command already in GH?
