It is in India. This is a view from Meru.

Tahquitz

you guys are awesome. Go pull the wings off a fly. I'm going nuts trying to figure out what this is? Changabang? An angle I've never seen before? is that Kalanka behind it? That is a cell phone camera picture of a paused video on the internet. If you knew how hard that was for a cave man like me to pull off you might have a little more sympathy.

So, you're telling me it's not Tahquitz?

Yes and I watched the full length video on jimmy's site. This was photographed from meru. Jimmy to a ton of pictures on the 2008 expedition of it but no references.

My wild guess is those are the twin summits of Shivling seen from the west.

machapuchare?

I was thinking shivling too, but the summit snowfield is missing. You'd have to be looking all the way across the chituan rainforest past pochara to see machapuchare but it does loot similar doesn't it.

I have not been there, and I've been unable to find a picture clearly labeled "Shivling from the west" or anything similar. The pictures I've seen of Shivling were more or less all taken from the other side. The most useful was this one.

Most pictures only show the summit that is farther away from Meru. That summit has a snowfield, but in this view it would be on the hidden side.

However, the Shark's Fin is on the east side of Meru, facing Shivling, and the "unidentified mountain" has two summits and is very close. What else could it be? Finally, behind the "unidentified mountain," I think one can identify the Bhagirathi Sisters. Shivling, according to Google Maps, is right between Meru and those peaks.
