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

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

Scott Patterson · · Grand Junction, CO · Joined Dec 2005 · Points: 302

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!

Should be in Italian though since this is the Italian side.

I've often wondered why a nearby feature has a very commonly-used German version of its name.

Greg plucks the high-hanging fruit!

Btw using the French isn’t wrong. Val d’Aosta was once part of the Duchy of Savoie.

Probably very wrong but how about Boundary peak and Montgomery peak.

I think we need a hint.

Mt Nebo and North Peak?

Is it in the Lost River Range?

Mt Church?
