This is a photo of what Klenke calls "north summit" from the "south summit" of Davis Peak. For Paul, it would be very important to visit the higher peak because one of them has over 400 feet of prominence. For us (Dean, Eric, and me), it really didn't matter because we're not chasing 400-foot prominences - we're after 2000-foot prominences instead. Anyway, since it is likely that both of these summits are within the same elevation contour, one would have to visit both in order to be certain of getting the true 400-foot prominence point. This photo could make a case that the north summit is actually lower, although there can be no proof without good equipment. I base this on the fact that the reddish point beyond the summit ridge (right of the highest point) has an elevation of 6,566. The summit we're standing on is probably about 6,500 feet. The label on the topo map says 6,490 feet for a point that is clearly lower than the south summit. The highest point on the north summit appears a tad higher than distant point 6,566, but the curvature of the earth would make point 6,566 appear somewhat lower than it is. If I were a betting man, I'd bet that the south summit is higher than the north summit, but to me it doesn't really matter.

Be that as it may, the massif at the left tops out with the summit of Granite Mountain, while the double-peaked mountain on the right is The Cradle. Just behind and right of The Cradle is "Big Chiwaukum". July 21, 2007.
