Peak in center 

Note the iceberg lake adjacent to tree line… classic wild terrain of the range

Is that Mt. Stuart?

Ryan B · · Seattle, WA · Joined Nov 2023 · Points: 10

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?

Ryan B · · Seattle, WA · Joined Nov 2023 · Points: 10

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.

Chief Joseph supposedly has a few obscure ice lines on it. The owner of Terminal Gravity brewpub in Enterprise was a climber and was quick to share.

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.

Jake907 · · Anchorage Alaska · Joined Jul 2007 · Points: 5

That peak was Mt. Yukla in the Chugach. Here is another less obscure one, not in Alaska.

Picacho maybe?

New rule, when Saguaros are in the shot, telling us it’s not in Alaska doesn’t count as a hint 😉
