A picket and a hell of a lot of rope. Must have been doing some training? My guess is Lightning Couloir and we're looking at that side gully that goes up to Miner's Bowl?

Zé has come a long way:

To this day he still doesn't know how to read a map or use a compass. He just walks in a straight line to each peak, no matter what god awful thorny brush is in the way

And here i thought Zé looked for the steepest routes possible to each peak, which means walking through every bush, thorn and scree possible.

nope....I forgot to say the view is looking south. I dont have another picture of the moutain, but here is one of the drainage just over the horizon(going left to right in the previous picture)..this photo is looking east with the mountain in question straight ahead & on the right side of the picture.

Surprisingly, you are wrong.

Telegraph Peak's long white streak, the West Face Couloir.

1) Yes

2) Mt Wilson - but close enough I think. hard to tell since i zoomed in.

Do we need a ruling from the grand poo-bah, or is this answer close enough for a post?

Ze Hiker · Post by **Ze Hiker** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 9:44 am

oh close enough to go next. i'm gonna refrain from answering this one...

AW~ · Post by **AW~** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 1:00 pm

hmm...dont know. My 2 guesses would be either somewhere near the San Gabriel river-East fork or Big Rock creek?
