North Pal. Starlight Peak is slightly more-dead-center. 

Easy peasy, give us another one George.

Not that I really want to know, buutt… where is Humble Horse?

This next mountain ⛰️ actually has “Mountain” in its name. Snow is hiding its true colors. My tele tracks are visible. Someones’

earlier tracks are visible, climbers left. A little slide obscured some of those.

Humble Horse is a classic ice/mixed climb on the N face of Diadem peak in the Canadian Rockies. It follows the couloir feature in J’s picture.

Thanks. It’s one especially compelling ice line, not that I’ll be doing it.  

DJ got it!  It’s specifically Red 3.

Ocshapalca is correct!

This one is pretty obscure.  If no one gets it by the end of the weekend I'll pass it along to whoever has the closest guess.  A couple hints.  It's only about 15 miles from a highway but it's rarely climbed. You can see this face from the road if the weather is good. The face has at least two pretty serious alpine ice routes.

Did you climb it?  If so do tell.  Rowdy face.

We attempted the American Direct. Did not finish it. Got lost on the glacier approach in the dark, which cost us several hours (you'd think I would have learned to flag the approach in daylight, after having the same problem on other climbs). It might have been out of condition. Certainly we didn't find the conditions we had been led to expect. Descent was sketchy, requiring downclimbing some pitches.

Based on your highway clue I'm guessing we're looking at either the Chugach, maybe in the Matanuska area, or Delta/Hayes near the Richardson? I think I can rule out Moffit, McGinness, White Princess, and most of the other peaks on the Delta Range side.

Good 'nough.  NF of Sargeant Robinson.  Just off the Mat. You're up.

So, hopefully people don't get mad at me again for this one.  

It's on a t-shirt a family member got for me in the gift shop in GNP... the mountain is NOT in GNP.
