Voted 10/10 | Not a bad start. Could be a bit more descriptive. The Topozone coordinates are the same as the Crystal Crag page. (lat. 37.591N and lon. 119.013 W.) | |

Voted 10/10 | Good basic information. Could be flushed out a bit. Cheers William | |

Voted 10/10 | Nice page. Couple of comments: (1) The lat/long coordinates are off--I guess funkness has the right ones below. (2) Does the peak lie inside the Ansel Adams Wilderness? If so, you can add it to that group of peaks. (3) It would be useful to link to the Mammoth Mountain live cam under the Mountain Conditions section. (4) You can also add a signature photo--hover your mouse over one of the pictures, note its ID, and you can enter this in the appropriate field near the top when you edit the page. Concerning your comments to hgrapid: As far as the "Getting There" section goes, most pages seem to use that to describe usual approaches to the vicinity of the peak, and then put detailed route information on a separate route page. Dave Kiene's Mt. Goddard page is a great example. But for a class 1 or 2 route that doesn't have any involved route-finding and doesn't warrant a detailed description, it probably makes as much sense to just put those comments all in one place. BTW, I favour including more detail rather than less when possible, at least if route-finding can be tricky (e.g. North Guard or Mt. Mills)--people who prefer to figure things out for themselves can disregard comments easily enough, read Roper or Secor, or just look at a map. IMO, one of the great advantages of SP over a resource like Secor is the ability to include detailed and up-to-date beta, including personal observations, that simply couldn't be included in a guidebook. | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks to all for the better information! I'm still having problems adding the signature photo, since hovering the cursor does nothing with the browser I am using, possibly. I'll get the hang of it one of these days! I should do that on the other pages I am maintaining! I hope the Lat/Lon data is correct--I thought I copied it directly off of TopoZone. You'll just have to forgive me for the dunce-like fumbling I am undergoing, but I do like four stars! I need help with my wording, but confusion is often the part of so many descriptions. I try to make it short and brief, in the spirit of the guidebooks I've contributed to. And my photo captions offer more details. Thank you all, again! | |

Voted 10/10 | In principle, if you go to the photo thumbnails page, moving your mouse cursor over a thumbnail should show the photo ID in a small pop-up text field. This works for me on my work PC, but not with my home laptop for some reason (same browser on each). If it doesn't work for you, you can click on a thumbnail to view a photo; the first number in the resulting URL is the photo ID. e.g. clicking on the first thumbnail on the Mammoth Crest photos page takes me to this URL: http://www.summitpost.org/mountains/photo_link.pl/p/photo_id__106406__object_id__3588__type__mountain__mountain_id__3588__route_id____user_id____order_by____limit__ The photo ID for that shot is 106406. To add the peak to the Ansel Adams Wilderness group, you can select that group from the "Assign Group" pulldown box when you edit the page... it's at the bottom of the very first section (i.e. the bit setting the title, height, lat/long, etc) The lat/long still seems to be a bit off, as it points at Crystal Crag. Finally, to add a hyperlink for the web cam URL, there's an explanation in the FAQ: http://www.summitpost.org/mountains/faq.pl | |

Voted 10/10 | Very nice page! Might be a good climb to do this October, followed by a beer, a soak in a hot spring, and a drive through the many aspen groves that should be yellow and orange by then. What could be better than that? :-) | |
