Is that Mt. Stuart? |
|
|
Negative. more north west! I can post a less cropped version but it'll be a dead giveaway. |
|
|
Slesse?? I'm from Colorado and am totally guessing. |
|
|
Cashmere? |
|
|
Nope, but technically closer than your previous guess. It's in WA though (not BC) Edit: this was in response to Slesse. |

It's sub 8k and historically significant in a way (FIRST first ascent of a very famous first ascensionist)... Hopefully this gives it away. Edit: not forbidden Edit: because I’m at posting limit. Despair is correct. Quinn’s turn |
|

One more guess and then I'll stop. Forbidden Peak. That's one I've actually climbed via the E. Ridge. Edit: Actually I retract that guess as it doesn't look glaciated enough to be Forbidden. The first ascensionist could only be Fred Beckey?? |
|
|
I'll admit I'm out of my element in the North Cascades, but is it Snowking seen from Mt. Chaval? It's the only thing I can come up with that's under 8k... Edit: the depth of the image threw me off: is that Mount Despair? Google confirms that Beckey made the FA at age 15. |

Thanks, Ryan. Didn’t see this until this morning. Name the mountain on the left side, or the peak I’m standing on. |
|
|
Hint: the peak pictured is named for a famous Native American leader. |
|
|
Chief Joseph? |
|
|
Correct! Take it away, Jake. |

Most of my pics I have not share already are obscure Alaska choss heaps. If noone gets this in a few days I'll offer up something else. The peak on the right. |

Hey Jake, how about following up with something else as you proposed. This thread has been dead for almost 10 days now and we need more peaks. |

Picacho maybe? |
