Sentinel Point

Agreed, great shot! That's Sentinel Point (12,527') on the far right.

Re: Sentinel Point

Thanks. Have you climbed Sentinel Point? I think I know a fairly easy way to get up there. I can see it from my house, so I don't know why it's taken me so long to try...

Re: Sentinel Point

No I haven't, but I read a TR of it recently. From the pics I saw, it looks like a gorgeous area, with loads of Pikes granite boulders strewn about.

Tell Others about SP!

""Even after years of intimate contact and search this quality of strangeness in the desert remains undiminished. Transparent and intangible as sunlight, yet always and everywhere present, it lures a man on and on, from the red-walled canyons to the smoke- blue ranges beyond, in a futile but fascinating quest for the great, unimaginable treasure which the desert seems to promise. Once caught by this golden lure you become a prospector for life, condemned, doomed, exalted. One begins to understand why Everett Reuss kept going deeper and deeper into the canyon country, until one day he lost the thread of the labyrinth; why the oldtime prospectors, when they did find the common sort of gold, gambled, drank and whored it away as quickly as possible and returned to the burnt hills and the search. The search for what? They could not have said; neither can I; and would have muttered something about silver, gold, copper -anything as a pretext. And how could they hope to find this treasure which has no name and has never been seen? Hard to say -and yet, when they found it, they could not fail to recognize it. Ask Everett Ruess."" --Ed Abbey
