Name that mountain Volume 3
|
|
I don't know what it is, but to keep things moving I'll ask if it's in Montana. |
|
|
Not in Montana! This mountain resides in Oregon and, because I'll be leaving tomorrow to backpack in its home range, if no one gets it by tomorrow morning I'll post the answer and someone else can take over. |

|
Is it that marble thing in the Wallowas? I don't know the name of it though... |
|
|
It's in the Wallowas, but 'that marble thing' could describe a number of notable peaks in the range. If someone else can correctly name it, I'd say they win, but failing that you've gotten fairly close. If no one gets it tonight I'll post the answer in the morning and Matt can go. |

Matterhorn ? |
|
|
Bingo, Jake! That’s Matterhorn from the NE, its less impressive face. The West face is much more imposing (seriously, look it up) and is often cited as the tallest sheer cliff in Oregon. You’re up! |

|
I'm away from my hard drive full of pics. In the spirit of the last pic (hint) I'll leave you with this. |

Mountain of Madness? |

Ushba (Apologies if I answered too quickly, but I wanted to post a mountain that I'd consider to be Ushba's twin. The resemblance between the two peaks is striking. I promise that I have held back on answering too many). |
|
|
I'd consider this one to be the long lost twin of Ushba, but it's a long way away. I thought Id post this one right after Ushba to show the similarities. This one is much harder to climb though. |

Jirishanca in the Cordillera Huayhuash? First guess was Chacraraju in the Cordillera Blance |
|
|
Jirishanca is correct |
|
|
Hint - it is the highest peak in the country it is located in. George got it - Ojos del Salado in Chile. |

I won't answer, but is that a winter or spring photo? I was there last summer and a lot of that snow/ice has melted! |
