Thanks for posting. I´ll be waiting for further trips & photo material. I give you already the 4 stars since I see you are really determined to improve this page. By the way, I agree with you about the fact that a summited SP mountain page should be done by a real summiter of the peak/mountain.
Thanks for the vote. However, I did not say that an SP page should only be submitted by a "real summiter". I said that I have some reservations doing so. This is the only time I submitted a page for one I did not reach the summit on, though I was only 20-30 vertical feet away from the top. Read through the page. I sought out the advice of Kevin Baker, who summited Vigil Peak, and was nice enough to finish the route page for me, as I noted. Otherwise I would not have felt comfortable writing the page. That's the great thing about SP members working together on something like this. That being said, if we only have pages submitted by "real summiters" we would lose quite a few pages and a wealth of information, as I hope my page provides.

It is not a problem for me that you did not reach te highest point...I just agreed with you about those doubts of you. My pages are summits of mine, otherwise I would doubt about doing a page too. I also agree about the fact that, sometimes, we have to make pages of mountains which were not climbed by us, SP members. That´s good for the site and good for other SP members. The same about routes. My route of ´Mulhacén-Canuto central´ is not a route that I have climbed yet. It will occur this winter.
By the way, 20 - 30 feet before the summit means, under my point of view, that you know the route and terrein good enough to summit the mountain page.

Thanks for the vote, Gangolf. I made some changes to the Overview and Getting There pages. My mistake was not having my English Literature degree wife proof my work before submitting the page:)

Untitled CommentNice page, well-written page, with detailed information and good pictures. Thanks for posting!
My usual proofreading report, if you are interested:
Vigils first neighbor -> Vigil's first neighbor
Camp Road The summit -> Camp Road. The summit
as it hinds -> as it hides

Untitled CommentThanks, Brenta. You remind me of my 7th grade English teacher, Mrs. Cummings! The corrections are made. Please put the ruler away:)

Untitled CommentGood page. Separating Overview and Getting There in more paragraphs would make the sections easier to read.
