I agree with your excellent information, though it is not really clear to me wether Pic Pétard/Pic Tonnerre is one of the names of the Bachimala massif or the name of a lower peak placed nearby in France. I recently read "Souvenirs d'un montagnard" by count Russell and this last option seemed to be the one accepted by him (as far as I recall). Nonetheless, Pico Schrader is surely the highest point in the massif. No doubt about that. As of today, I am going to change the heading of the page: "Gran Bachimala" instead of the actual one.
Ya veo que al final te has quedado con Bachimala, la verdad es que es igual, lo importante no son los nombres sino el pico ¿Qué tal el libro de Rusell? ¿No se hace pesado?
No, la verdad es que no se hace pesado. Tiene una cosa buena, que es que se puede leer a ratos sueltos y monte por monte. Así es como lo he hecho yo y resulta incluso entretenido ver cómo se lo montaban hace ciento y pico de años en los mismos sitios que pisamos hoy cualquier fin de semana.
Franz Schrader (1844-1924) was a geographer native of Bordeaux and an excellent cartoonist. They say that he went to Los Pirineos for taking some panoramic notes but he was attracted by the range soul (as Whymper with the Alps) when looking at a sunset at Néouville. His cartographic works and his drawings have an excellet quality. The name of of the peak is still polemic, the French called it Pico Schrader but they really know that is the highest point in the Bachimala massif.
Anyway, it's also called Gran Bachimala, Machimala, Pic Pétard or Pic Tonnerre.
