Description Suggest change

Looking up towards the north, with your back to Houston Lake, this peak's south ridge (together with Mt Pequod - 9750 ft) forms the right side of the glacial basin of Mt Moby Dick that drains into Houston Lake / Creek.

Do not confuse with Mt Foremast (8810 ft, 2865m ) 

Getting There Suggest change

"Look East, young man" (I. e. downstream on the outflow of Houston Lake) and Forcastle's South Ridge rises on your left.
