Guess the spot

It's not still the Middle Teton is it??

It is! Middle Teton with Grand in the back about 20 years ago.

Yep, that's Goat Lake. Merritt Peak is up that valley on the right. A good one if you don't mind the exposure. You're up Ben.

So what is the route/spire name? You got a trip report @River ? Mountain Project link?

I see a Sawtooth trip Art.............

Not my video, but it gives a good idea of the route:

It's a fun one, let me know when you want to go.

Art, might as well do Thompson Peak while there. Our trip went right past Merritt...

Haha. Nice. A little trickery. It looked so familiar and I was mad at myself for not guessing the first Middle Teton picture. I'll post a new one shortly.

That doesn't look like the Tetons anymore.

@River , @Scott Chandler , @langutah:

You're correct that it's NOT in the Tetons any more. =)

Not in Colorado.

Not Box Elder.

 

[River]

Cascade?

 

[Mike K]

Cascade?

Good job, Cascade Mountain it is! (via Upper Pole Couloir). Man...that didn't last long.

 

[River]

This one should go quickly.
