Yes! Well done. The prize is yours! You're it.

For extra credit, anybody want to guess the spot this was taken from and the identity of the saddle that frames the view?
From Winston pk with saddle between Kratka ridge and Waterman's long east ridge? Does it have an official name?

Correct again - I don't know that the saddle has a name, but you've identified it exactly. Nice.

I'm gonna have to think about your pic for a minute...

It's neither. Both are too far east, too high.

I'm guessing this is from one of the ridges on Chalk Peak due to the view and the unfortunately intact file date in the filename.

Name the peak. If you insist on naming the trail make sure to do so in the other thread.
