Thanks Guido. As you know it's a good bit of work involved to put a good one together, but always satisfying once it's done. Appreciate the comment.

Thanks so much Noondueler. I really enjoyed the area there too.
So Secor does. I had completely overlooked it, I checked the wrong section. Had no info at all when I headed out. But 'brief' is a bit of an understatement. In my edition there's only 6 words on the peak!
I don't know if this one is hardcore enough for her, maybe if done in a day. But it is a fun one and the ridge is very enjoyable. One of my favorite weekends this summer.
Did not see a soul the entire trip- great place to get away. The summit register had not been signed since 2005 (still hasn't). Much of that is due to it's current lack of a writing instrument. It doesn't get a lot of traffic though. Thanks MoapaPk.
I might have the wrong peak, but I think this one might get an official name soon. According to Mammoth Times, it may soon be Mt. Andrea Lawrence. Sorry if I have the wrong peak (see photo in link below)!
Wow you're right. The latest named peak in the Sierra. That's it in the picture from the southeast. I had received an email about some peak getting this name, I had no idea it might be this one and hadn't taken the time to look at it yet.
Updated the page a little bit... I figure this won't get vetoed (though perhaps next time Barbara Boxer will follow better protocol and consult with the SP page owner before renaming peaks in the area). :-)
Will clean it up more when I return from vacation in a couple of weeks. Thanks for highlighting!

This prominent peak'sbeen sitting there a long time. Good to see you covered it. Secor briefly covers it in his Sierra book. Great pics too!

Truly good work, but...I was waiting to hear what Darija had to say. Actually, sounds like a great peak; remote, little-climbed.

Renamed?Hi mrchad9,
