for a loop from White Pine Lake to Red. The narrow passageway in the cliffs on the East side of the ridge connecting it to White Baldy is a pretty neat route.
As to the name ... I thought PPP was the standart version ... and of course USGS map calls it Thunder.
If I recall, Pink Pine Point is how Tyson Bradley (in his guidebook) refers to a 9000er point farther north on the ridge. I'll have to double check that. [Edited to add: Oh, I see you already have a page for that one, Point 9947, and never mind anyway, I checked and he doesn't even use the PPP name after all]
And I like your style of presentation. I attached some photos, it's nice to have a home for those ones now. They're still labeled "No Name Peak" but I suppose I'll keep it that way out of spite for the Powderbirds ;) There could be a zillion No Name Peaks out there, but there are also a zillion things named Thunder or Lightning in that area, so I'll stick with what's familiar.
Climbed up North ridge via White Pine dropped west face to upper Red Pine Lake, snow was mediocre but views and weather were great. Second winter accent, probably have done a
half a dozen or so summer climbs also.
