Hawkins

Actually that perspective looks closer to Islip?

Ze Hiker · Post by **Ze Hiker** » Wed Jan 27, 2010 11:50 am

yes, Islip

I'm running out of pictures to post for this game!

Despite looking serene, this is the most horrendous patch of buckthorn I have ever encountered. It turns out that it is easily bypassed on the left, but I took the direct BW4 variation.

PVR, up Will Thrall?

I have no idea what that means, but I'm pretty sure no...

Im pretty much out of named peaks as well...take to the water/canyons!

Is that recent?

I am sure this isn't even close but i will throw it out there, fish canyon? if so, its from the top of fall.

No, but it likely looked very similar recently

Its not as dangerous as it looks. The white in the water is pretty much froth, I think from decaying vegetation or wherever that froth comes from.

Tinaballina - Not fish canyon...

One more tougher hint before getting easy...there be a lot of people that use this trail.

Looking south from the trail in the front range......

O.K. AW, I know you made that last one super-easy with the last picture. I was just lucky to be on-line at the time.

How about this one: Where, and where taken from?

Afraid not.

In the dry river bed at the base of San G?

Elwood · Post by **Elwood** » Fri Jan 29, 2010 9:55 pm

Afraid not. It's in the Gabes.

Timber Peak? from or near the IHC Saddle?

Post by **Taco** » Sat Jan 30, 2010 8:31 am

I'm guessing part of West Twin.

Winston?

yeah west twin from saddle between twins, my guess (err, already taken)

Elwood · Post by **Elwood** » Sat Jan 30, 2010 5:42 pm

Taco is nearly right, say looking in a mirror.

AW~ · Post by **AW~** » Mon Feb 01, 2010 12:53 pm

I dont know, but my guess is Krakta ridge

Elwood · Post by **Elwood** » Mon Feb 01, 2010 3:06 pm

Don't want to have hijacked the thread by nitpicking over the answer. Taco got closest first. It's the East Twin, taken from the ridge to the triplets.

I took this guy from a bit further out.
