group atop Wynn Mountain

group atop Wynn Mountain

Looking west from Wynn Mountain (8,404). The peak in the far distance on the left hand side is Longfellow Peak, with the long west summit ridge of Mount Grinnell in the foreground (the sharp point above the girl with the tan top is actually a false summit; follow the gradually ascending ridge to the right to reach the true summit). The triangular tan peak behind and to the right of Grinnell is Swiftcurrent Mountain. The massive, snow-covered peak just right of center is the Vulture Peak massif, with the impressive east face of Mount Wilbur in front and to the right (with the horizontal snow patch at the base of its formidable cliffs).

Do you know...

...what the peak in the far distance, to the immediate right (and completely in shadow) of Swiftcurrent is?

logging mountain

is my guess... the peak in question appears to be connected Vulture Peak, and according to topo maps, they belong to they same massif. just a guess though, not familiar with that area at all!
