Re: I'm drooling

Thanks. I just got a new camera and I'm trying to learn to take better mountain pictures.

Great one!

What are the other summits in there? Do we see Inspiration Peak here?

thanks for posting!

Re: Great one!

Inspiration is in the center, up and slightly right from the tree. You can tell because of the double summit. The East Ridge is on the right, then you top out on the east summit then do that super exposed traverse to the west (main) summit, like that photo in Selected Climbs shows.



Looks like fun!

Re: Great one!

Terror is up and left of the tree and highest in the southern pcikets. That would be The Rake directly over the tree. The other towers are not too distinct from the south side.

DOES look fun!

Minimal beta out there for the east ridge. Even CAG is vague (East Ridge is referenced as a "class 5" route).

THanks for the info.

Re: Great one!

Man, my memory sucks! Just looked it up, and that is Degenhardt right of terror. The rake is on the left.
