That's the promontory/roof atop the southwest face of Tahquitz. Traitor Horn ascends there.

Thanks for posting! Have long heard of this movie but never seen it.

If I remember correctly, it's mentioned in the Vogel/Gaines guide to Tahquitz and Suicide. Unfortunately my copy is on loan to someone right now. If/when I get it back I will transcribe here its comments on the the movie.

Classic shots of Harwood Lodge and San Antonio Falls. Harwood Lodge looks much the same today.
