Name that peak! Visual Trivia.

Post by **Uncle Rico** » Sat Aug 22, 2020 7:45 am

Guess I'm up.

Name the peak. Hint: it isn't Bob.

First image it the peak. Second image is a summit view looking southeast-ish.

I should have mentioned, this peak is in the ANF, but technically not the San Gabes.

The hint on this one: Sammy Hagar

Can you throw a football over it?

No clue - not San Gabes.

Post by **Uncle Rico** » Tue Aug 25, 2020 8:17 am

Summit view looking southwest.

I've never been there, but based on your clue I'll guess Red Mtn. Hagar is the "Red Rocker."

Post by **Uncle Rico** » Tue Aug 25, 2020 8:44 am

Yes Sir.

Not a very popular peak.

Post by **Sean** » Tue Aug 25, 2020 9:07 am

A very early live version of "Red."

That's some sweet rock n' roll. You inspired me to pop my copy of "The Essential Red Collection" into the CD player.

Green ain't mean compared to red.

I saw Sammy play at Day On The Green in Oakland - July 4, 1980. Triumph, REO Speedwagon, Sammy and Blue Oyster Cult. I lost the shirt a few years ago.

Alright, name the peaks! Bonus, where am I standing?

Post by **HikeUp** » Sat Aug 29, 2020 9:14 am

From Rattlesnake: L-R Twin, Waterman, Kratka, Islip, etc.

Here's an easy one. Bonus: where am I standing? Extra credit: what year was it?

Yale, Harvard, Wilson, Occidental from Zion ? Looks a little pre-Station Fire so I'll guess pre August 2009.

You got the easy parts but not the hard parts. Any more guesses?

Post by **HikeUp** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 7:58 am

You're on Clamshell not Zion I think.

In the year 2525...

Yes, though you're still a little off with the year. Zion can be seen below Wilson. And there is another peak visible, which should give you a clue to the year.

I suppose I forgot to mention Strawberry, Lawlor, Barley Flat. I also take back the pre 2009 year guess. Barley Flat appears to have its Station Fire haircut but not the later one. I'll guess 2012-ish.

Post by **HikeUp** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 8:31 am

What Elwood said, but I think closer to 2009.

Post by **Sean** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 7:51 pm

Yep, 2011. I'll give it to you, Elwood, since you're one year closer.

Elwood · Post by **Elwood** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 5:37 pm

I think I’ll pass the baton.

Post by **Sean** » Wed Sep 23, 2020 10:06 am

Hikeup?

Or anyone not named Elwood?

Maybe someone can post a crazy hard one with little context, and we can play twenty questions, like what's happening on the other thread.

This evening perhaps. I lost all pics of my last Strawberry Peak hike. Damnit. Had a good one in mind from that set.
