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.

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.

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

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.
