Fuji?

Bingo.  Have at it Scott.

If you get the chance to do a lap on Fujisan- descending the Gotemba route is 5 stars.  One of the most unique experiences I've had on a mountain.  We very literally ran downhill in the scree for 45 uninterrupted minutes, like 1.5km. Wild.

Pretty famous mountain, but I haven't seen anyone post any photos near here in the Name that Mountain threads so hopefully this is something new.

In Africa, but not Mount Kenya

Looks African.  Kenya?

Edit...Ruwenzori...gotta be Mount Stanley?

Correct

This should be a lay-up. Photo taken in August of 1985, the day before I climbed this face.

If you know that you know it, go ahead and post a new one. I’m going to bed.

Next day edit:  The Midi is correct. The Frendo Spur follows the prominent rib just left of center.

Aiguille du Midi.

This might not be a gimme...

Hint:  this peak is normally traversed on the visible lower slopes enroute to the taller objective.

Hint:  clouds in the background are over an ocean.

Not Atna.

Is it Atna Peak?

Brian, it was a bit of an educated guess.  Back in the days of mtnforun I think you shared a bunch of really detailed information on St Elias with me.

Not in the Canadian Rockies but it does share the name with a famous Rockies peak.  Another view. 

If no one gets this in the next day or two I'll toss an easy one out instead.

Its in the same state as the last mountain. I took this photo from a highway.

Here’s one for the geology nerds. Same state as the last two.
