Intriquing question.

Are the two small sharp points on the left, Ogre and Castle Dome? I don't think Thompson is the tall one in the middle having a steep north slope.

Re: Intriquing question.

I'm not sure about the Ogre & Castle Dome. When I was on top of Hubris, I didn't recall the view being that great looking westward (though perhaps my memory is just failing me), & Castle Dome is even lower, no? You think or you don't think that Thompson is the one with the steep N slope? I'll look at the atlas to see if those 2 peaks might be the Castle Crags.

Re: Intriquing question.

The north slopes of Thompson did not appear to be so steep on the map. Did you note that the map of Thompson is at a contour seam between U.S. Standard ft. on the north and meters to the south?

No pix what so ever on the Mt. Thompson page-good reason for a trip over there but perhaps it's a challenge to get there! I Don't know if your summit pix can be assembled into a panorama as Klenke is known to do.

Re: Intriquing question.

the pointy granite spire in question is the summit of unnamed Peak 8276, which towers over Josephine Lake. Honestly one of the most formidable peaks in the entire wilderness.
