A somewhat disturbing trend.

I’m hoping that’s dry humor, although I don’t see any emojis. I have climbed the Central Buttress and Birds of Fire and have witnessed the same view as in Will’s picture. I’ve also climbed Spearhead about ten times. I’ve climbed the nearby peaks and climbed ice and skied above Black Lake. So I’m familiar with the views.

Besides having a lifelong interest in geography and geology, I’ve been around. I’ve also edited and fact-checked books and articles about peaks and routes that I haven’t done, and my day job was often tasked with finding those facts. I’d like to add that I’ve recognized a lot of mountains and routes that someone else beat me to. Half of this game is timing. Btw I don’t look at tick lists or photos on people’s MP pages. I do pay attention to Forum photos and More Top Photos that look interesting. 

Name the mountain at center:

I, for one, am thoroughly impressed.
Is that Copeland?

Copeland isn’t in the picture, although it’s very close. 

This is a couple three mountains north of Copeland. 

It’s Tanima Peak. Someone else should go and keep this thread moving.  

Sometimes it’s a fine line between too obvious and too obscure…

Here’s one for ya, name the peak directly behind me.

Mt Wilson

Yep, I figured it would go quick but this way we get to see more. Keep ‘em coming!

Name that bird while I am searching for a mountain.

Pete the Ptarmigan 

Winner, winner, ptarmigan dinner for Norm!

The next mountain up:

It's Biblical.

It's the home of devils.

Kind David’s peak?

Winner, winner! You're up.

Missed opportunity for the alliterative Ptolemy the Ptarmigan, but Pete is pretty solid, too.
