That's nuts. What road is that then? Looked like Ontario but I couldn't figure out from where. Nice Mr. Elwood (p.s. how's Jake doin'?).

It's the San Gabriels, and it's the front range.

That looks a lot like Red Box Rincon Road near Kenyon Devore (kinda like Shortcut Canyon Road too). The peak's got me baffled though... 4583 maybe.

Yes, my view is from the northwest with little bear canyon in the foreground below revealing the rocky northern side - the most common view of 5058 is from due west as you drive up ACH along the arroyo - or from brown mountain and tom sloane saddle to the south - Along ACH between clear creek and red box, this north view is hidden behind the panorama peak-cloudburst ridgeline immediately above switzers

Sean, first image is west face of Telegraph from the trail on the way to Cedar Camp. I’ve gone up that face/gully a few times.

Bob, I think we need a clue. Taco, I'm pretty sure Telegraph is out of view to the left.

First image is one nut wonder/west face gully on telegraph, with the cool fun route branching off to the right just below the 5.7 crux waterfall. The true summit is northeast once you top out on the highest visible point.

Cloud cover makes things look screwy but the top looks like Round Top even though I don't remember a cairn in the middle of the top.

You're in the general vicinity (within a 10 mile radius), but nope.

I go with Old Mount Emma then, that one did have a cairn and was pretty clean summit as well.

Let's do another. Here's a shot from Kenneth Hahn that everyone has seen:

We all know what the big snowy things are. But what's the dark sillhouette below Pine Mt? Or the dark pointy thing to the left of it?
