Guess the spot

Here is a WAG, Dennis. Taken from the Wasatch Plateau on the southern end of the Skyline Drive.
 
capitol Reef NP, Hickman Bridge trail

Not so wild a guess! Pretty close, but wrong Plateau.

Well, I am out of my element in that section of Fish Lake National Forest so I will make this last WAG - the range southwest of there where Manning Meadows reservoir is? Southwest of the Wasatch Plateau and I70?

You're pretty dang close--that range is the one visible in the distance. Koosharem Reservoir is the lake visible in the valley. The photo was taken from Fish Lake Hightop, the highest point in Sevier County. Good job, you're up!

Hmmm. That actually looks kind of familiar. I'll start with a WAG: eastern sierras, KIngs Canyon NP, looking east toward Owens valley, maybe from (or jst beyond) Kearsarge pinnacles area. I haven't upped & overed the east end to the eastside THs there.

Although I'm doubting whether I'm even in the right state.....

Your macro location is correct Langdon. I am looking for the peak name please. You are too far north in the mountain range though. The Sierra granite is distinctive, isn't it?

Is that the (in)famous Hulk?
 
Artemus said:
No that is even farther north than the Kearsarge Pinnacles. But it IS another famous climbing feature. That right hand, curving arete is a siren song to an alpine rock climber.

So much good granite in that range.
 
Another Hint: zoomed out view including the same peak that is the goal of your discovery. View looking northeast.

Welcome, and well done @genez! Nice to see another admirer of the Range of Light here at BCP.

The picture was taken from the top of Whitney after climbing the East Butt looking down at one of my favorite but not climbed routes - the Fish Hook Arete, on Mt. Russel. 5.9 III. My climbing bros climbed it the next day while I slept :)
