klenke Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 And here's one of the other dam up thattaway. Historical note: the checkerboard pattern was for a dam heightening project that never came to pass. It would have raised the Ross Lake level by something like 100 feet, thus inundating a lot more of Canada just over the border (the lake currently extends a mile or two into Canada).

klenke Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Is it in Washington? If not, I probably don't know. If it is, I'll have to look at it a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â No it is not. You might be looking it up for a while. Â This one is. Can you see Spectre Peak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 (edited) While you are on that one- Â What is this? The large north ridge was climbed in the 70's I believe. It was featured in a summit magazine and there is a second variation to the route. Edited October 7, 2003 by Cpt.Caveman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 (edited) Northern Pickets. With Jack Mountain on the horizon at right and Mt. Triumph (or possibly Despair) at the right edge. Where's that taken from? Shuksan, I think. Second picture is of Mt. Blum. Edited October 7, 2003 by klenke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any takers bring it on since I dont know either. It is in the "vicinity of Ape Lake" but during our trip I could not recall at what point I took the photo.

Cpt.Caveman Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 (edited) Dru said: is the middle one tower? Â No way. More close to Spickard, REdoubt. Edited October 7, 2003 by Cpt.Caveman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Annotating your white boxes from left to right: Larrabee, Slesse, and Klawatti (foreground peak). Tepeh Towers extend left from Klawatti. Klawatti Glacier is on the right; Inspiration Glacier on the left. Â The view is roughly northwestward (from Forbidden Peak, East Ridge, I presume). Â THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER. DO NOT PROCEED FURTHER WITH GUESSES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 well klenke bust it.... i didnt know slesse looked that good from the southeast. Â i figured it was the pickets middle-right though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 Dru said: so is it spickard group on left, hozomeen in middle, i dunno on third? Â I am more inclined to believe klenke's guess. That is Klawatti and Tepeh Towers... Â Most of the time 90% or so I climb and take photos without wearing my glasses. It makes it hard for me to determine what I am shooting. Thanks.

In this picture I am thiking that they are too far away to completely agree with Klenke.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even from this vantage I would guess those summits to be at least 5 mile apart or way more.  I think ulitmately Klenke is incorrect about one of those two.

Cpt.Caveman Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 Klenke what is the peak in the background? Also what does the portion of rock in the foreground belong to? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Regarding the previoius image I annotated for you: I AM COMPLETELY CORRECT. DO NOT EVER SECOND GUESS ME. DO IT AND DIE! (In the case of Larrabee, the proof is in the outline, of which I've seen enough times to know it when I see it. The outline clearly shows the Pleiades on the right of Larrabee. When you zoom in, the distance between peaks appears to widen. True enough, Larrabee and Slesse are not far from each other but would appear as such when you zoom in that direction from a distant peak. Â Regarding the new image, I'm guessing that is Monte Cristo Peak (on the Glacier Basin side). This would make the ridge in the foreground part of Silver Tip Peak. I'm not really sure though. When I'm not sure, I'll admit it. When I am sure, I won't say as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
