Guess the spot

[LarryBoy]

wow, awesome info @Jackson!

I used the same description and had no problems. I think it's a liiiiiiiittle confusing as written - basically you go straight up the snow tongue (very steep and unstable), cross from right to left below the Slab. Once you've crossed below the slab, take a hard right and climb from seven o'clock to two o-clock. IMPORTANT: once you get near the top of the chute, the chute gets ultra-steep and gets into the class IV range. Stop climbing the chute right below this point and you'll notice an escape to your right (south). Head that way for just a tiny bit (couple dozen yards) and you'll soon reach the Gash. From there simply scramble up on good rock, loop below the summit, and you're there. Your main problem will be rocks tumbling down the chute. I was on the snow tongue when a bit one came rocketing out of the bottom of the Chute. If I were there I would have been killed. Also the snow tongue is no fun if there's no snow.

View attachment 55466 To get it on this page. This is a pretty large lake next to a trail that sees a lot of use.

Oh wait is this Wall Lake? Rock looks different color but the geography fits.

Awesome info! And the loose rocks sound pretty nuts. I hope you had a helmet!

Yes you are correct good sir. The picture is taken from the summit of Fremont Peak looking towards the beautiful Gannett peak. I need a non professional guide from this site to take me to the top of Gannett peak next year.
You are up.

Looks like GNP to me. But I have no idea where.

Fremont Peak (j/k). Kind of reminds me of that country around Logan Pass. (BTW, the Going to the Sun Road is still closed).

 

[Mike K]

It looks so familiar...like a Uintas peak I've seen or done. (I've been comparing to pics of Hayden, Agassiz, Yard, stuff around Deadhorse Lake,etc)...but nothing seems to quite match!

 

[Jeffrey Chandler]

its in GNP, might be difficult because people dont commonly go here

 

[Chuck the Mauler]

Kinda looks like Mount James

I've seen a grizzly bear heading down the outfitters' trail towards me before I crossed the pass on the left of the image.

A little nerve wracking, I had my bear spray out and ready. He broke off the trail to my left and went around along the lower slope of a peak that shall remain nameless less it gives your spot away.

Yeah any peak names will give an area away and in no time people will get it because this spot, while not popular is interesting to say the least lol

 

[MikeM]

Was going to say Mount Gould, but that is too popular of an area from your description.
