[Colin]

Bonanza Peak, Company Glacier.

 

Taken from Tupshin Peak?

Damn! Colin beat me to it. 'Cept I'm going to say from Rainbow Mountain by Stehekin Airport (to the NE).

[dkemp]

Ah yes, Bonanza with Company Glacier from Rainbow Mtn. In the second photo, to the left of Bonanza is the rocky face of Tupshin.

 

Here is photo of Rainbow with our scramble route:

All right then, if you're all that, tell me what this one is... also from Rainbow summit:

yeah, whatizzit

 

I, er, dont actually know myself... but I *think* I know what it is.

[Colin]

My guess is McAlester Mountain.

[klenke]

That's a harder one. Closest thing I've been up in relation to Rainbow Mountain is Reynolds Peak, which is about 7 miles east of RM. I looked at my pictures from Reynolds and nothing stands out.

 

I don't think it's McAlester. Based on other observations and the look of the mountains in your photo, I'm going to say the peak on the left is Buckskin Mountain while the peaks on the right are Copper/Fernow/Seven Fingered Jack. Just an educated guess.

[dkemp]

Naw, cause McA would be behind the photographer. No, this one was to the photographers left of Tupshin, in other words, south of Bonanza and Tupshin. Seven Fingered Jack?

My guess would have been SFJ, but the relation with the other peaks looks wrong for Entiat and Maude. Sometimes it's misleading tho, esp cause I haven't seen any of them snow capped.

Maude, SFJackoff, Fernow, and Copper from Reynolds Peak to the NE (in late summer):
