Name this pile of rock

[Blake]

 

So what is the name of th prominent peak above and to my right? and bonus points for where it was taken from. There is a second pic with the same area and more of the foreground in the gallery.

Chair Peak in summer?

[klenke]

Blake, your answer(s) have been added as comments to your pics. What's my prize?

[Blake]

Klenke you are incredible.. seriously. So would lberty bell be too far to the left to show up in these pics? I actually didn't specifically know which one was which. I will buy you a Cinnamon Roll or other things at the Stehekin Bakery if you ever come in next summer. I think I am going to post a pic of some random hills in Tajikstan and finally stump you.

[Blake]

ok then, I'll put a couple more here until you get them, but I doubt it will be long.

[klenke]

Liberty Bell/South Early Winter Spire would be to the left sort of behind Pika Peak (and Blue Lake Peak, which is next to Pika on that same ridge). That ridge would probably obscure a view of the Liberty Bell Group. But you could see it from Stiletto Peak, I'm sure.

 

Stehekin Bakery Cinnamon Roll!!!

 

Attached is a mountain scene that has stumped CC.comers before. See if you can figure it out.

[klenke]

I'm thinking that is McGregor Mountain from the NNE (from near where the other two pics were taken).

[Blake]

well, you got the basic idea right, but it's from the ridge above Twisp Lake, near Hock Mtn. AS for your cartoon picture... well I can see how that has stumped people. I guess it makes it easy that most of my pics are from one area, because I only had a digital cam on one trip. I'll have a whole new supply of pics after next summer.

[Blake]

Last one for now, until I just throwing up random pics of nameless peaks and having Klenke tell me what named places they are next to.

[EWolfe]

Dude!

That pile of rock in the far distance is, of course, Silverstar and the Wine Spires. The picture is taken from near the former lookout site on Stiletto Peak. I'm pretty sure the lump on the right margin is Copper Peak, behind which would be the Early Winters group.

[plexus]

Yeah that's Copper in the right of the latest photo.

 

BTW Klenke, Pika is not on the same ridge as Blue Lake Peak. Blue Lake is to the SW of the Liberty Bell Group. Pika is on the E ridge that terminates into Copper Peak and forms the ridge on your right when you hike up to Kangaroo Pass. Good solo spring jaunt and some loose easy fifth on the NE ridge.

(Per)Plexus(ed): I suppose it could be a matter of opinion, but I beg to differ. Essentially, if you look at a topo, Pika and Blue Lake peaks are on the same ridge. Take a look at this topo. Pika is Pt. 7565 on the right. Blue Lake Peak is the point where the county boundary line makes a sharp turn to the right (north). The saddle just before BLP makes it look like BLP and Pika are not on the same ridge, but in my opinion they are. See #'s 13 & 16 on this image for clarification. This image shows that saddle more clearly. In this image, Pika Peak is at the near end of that craggy ridge demarcating the county boundary line.

 

Besides, in relation to what I was getting at in my previous post, I was simply talking about the long slope/ridge lining the north side of Copper Creek. In looking at the topo, there is a Pt. 7651 SW of BLP that is in a direct line from the west end (Pt. 7223) of Stiletto Peak's ridge and Liberty Bell that would fully obscure the latter from the former.

 

Note also that Stiletto (7660 ft) is not the highest point on its ridge. There is a "Switchblade" Peak (Pk 7805) about half-a-mile east that is the highest (see #11 in the previous image link).

[klenke]

Blake, your last picture is a long way from Silver Star. It is of Fernow & Seven Fingered Jack with Fortress Mountain at far right. I'm guessing it was taken from Miners Ridge, possibly from the lookout.

[Blake]

Yep.. that is right klenke. Isn't that Chiwawa on the right side though?

[klenke]

Yeah, sorry, Chiwawa on the right. My bad.

[Blake]

Hey Klenke, I really like your summitpost pictures with the peaks named, panorama style. I might have already asked you this, but have you been to Bannock Lakes? or climbed near there?
