Re: Paramount Mountain

This is in reply to an old thread I found here: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000477.html

 

Backstory, today my friend looked at a picture from Nepal and said it looked identical to the paramount logo. So we proceeded to look on the internet to try and find out, seems like there is quite a bit of debate. So I wanted to offer this mountain perhaps because nobody mentioned it.

Close, but not quite:

 

 

 

I always thought it looked more like a pointy K2...

If anything it looks more like Shivling. Look at that step in the ridge facing the camera in the logo. Just like east ridge of Shivling.

 

But the correct answer is that IT IS A FAKE MADE UP MOUNTAIN :jeez:

I've always thought it was supposed to be a replica of Atresonraju in the Cordierra Blanca from the NE I believe. Striking similarity if you can find a pic.

Not my editing...
