Beckey-Chouinard on Howser. If not, then something in the bugs for sure.

So, since some people like to keep it international, let's see how far off the grid they get:

Where am I now?

Surely a few more people have done this one, albeit very pedestrian, it is also very nice.

Mt. Kilimanjaro?

Geographically way off. But in another way, not so far.

Here is another clue:

Sunrise

Will a little more background help?

Your 2 mega-pixel pic sucks, T! : ) Is that snow, or volcanic rock? Or both? Just wanting another hint. ; )

Tell the dude in the blue jacket to move a little to the left (climber's left). That's a better pic, though.

Alright.... These are all pictures of the same thing, and if this one doesn't give it away, then nothing will:

Hee-haw!

Bugaboos?

Pico de Orizaba, or Citlaltépetl in Mexico?

Gigi, You're just tossing out random guesses! But no, and not much closer.
This one is a little further off the grid. Here is one more clue (see the ocean in the background), then we'll have to wait for someone else to guess:

Another view. That makes 5!

LOL! You're right, but at least I've been getting all the trivia questions right on the live-on-air HAM radio trivia game so far; really, ask Jonny. : ) I'll get them right tonight too! ; ) But I give up on guessing yours, T. Good luck, MPers!

Kinabalu?

Yes, an amazing sea of granite poking out of the South Pacific for 4000+meters. It makes most of the worlds rocks look small.
Surprisingly enough, it is a very mellow climb by the standard route.
There are however, several formations and canyons on and in it that are much more sporting.
Correct sir.

Brian, you are up!

Ahhh...that Kinabalu ^^^ is on my radar...!

Here we go...name that pointy rig!

In-spire-ing...

Bump.

Hint?

Europe.

Tony B · · Around Boulder, CO · Joined Jan 2001 · Points: 24,665

Aguille de something, I'd wager. But it's lost on me. I've been to Europe for work, but never to climb. I suspect that most international routes are going to be tough for most of the population. I posted 1/2 dozen shots of a distinctive peak that sees many thousands of ascents per year and nobody got it for a while

Aiguille Dibona in the Massif des Ecrins.

EDIT: Sorry, I have to relinquish my turn, because I'm not going to be able to post for several hours.

Shoot, I'll take it... I got half of the name right.
So here's a gimmie to pass the hat:

Can't get much easier than this!

I'm headed to the lab, so peer review of a correct answer should do the trick.
