Looking for photos of the north side of the ridge running E-W just south of Twin Peaks. There's a ridge of exposed granite running up its north side. I don't have photos of it anymore. Anyone got any? Anyone been to the summit of Twin Peaks recently and taken photos looking south?
Ridge: 34.27414260727399,-117.91473660095961
I've had it in the back of my mind for years but only now thought it could be 'fun'.
Also, if anyone wants to go climb it with me, I'm open. Yeah, you should bring a bike!

Last time I was on Twin Peaks was before I owned a camera!
I have some pictures of the general area south of Triplets taken from Monrovia Peak but I'm not sure they cover the area you are referring too.

That's just N of Middle Mermaid, I guess. I've photos from West Mermaid, but they're of the wrong side of the ridge. Headsizeburrito has photos from Middle Mermaid itself, but can't see the thing you're talking about. So I guess you want a view from Triplet Rocks... When I was there I made a panorama:
The rib you're looking at is just to the right of the southern Triplet obscuring the view. So you want to find to find photos from the group that summitted that thing. Or... aerials? Here you go:

Good question. I am planning on approaching by riding up 39 to the Smith Mtn trailhead, riding up that, then descending into the canyon and so on. Would be an overnight.
