Not Winston.

I forgot...you NHPS'ers have probably never been to this peak. Spend too much time in the ditches canyons.

Hint...If you know where to look, you can see Mt. Islip in the picture.

We have a winner!

Islip is just below and left of Strawberry...just above the bushes. The shoulder of Twin is just beyond and above-left of that.

Nope. Lower elevation. More to the east.

I'm a Jonesin for Jones, where are you for this pic, randomly going up the ridge to the San Olene site?

Ding ding ding ding ding! Henry and I scrambled from the base of Santa Anita Ridge behind someone's house up to San Olene. You're up.

This is where I was a week ago. What peak are we looking at in the Sierra and quadruple points if you can tell me what obscure peak I'm taking this picture from.

How about Cirque Peak from Wollyback?

It is Cirque but from Flat Top, great little climb for acclimating and has excellent views of the basin.

Post by **Taco** » Sat Aug 22, 2020 3:06 am

Yep, Cirque from that peak you hike around from the trailhead. I did the north ridge, or whatever you wanna call the right edge of it, once. That and Langley in a day for 32mi and a headache from early afternoon until 10pm. Very unhappy.
