Untitled CommentUnusual peak; thanks for adding it. I haven't visited that part of the Sierra much.
A few suggestions--
(1) You might add a signature photo.
(2) Can you add this to the Ebbetts Pass Area group? (And any others that are appropriate... I wonder if there's a Carson-Iceberg group yet?)
(3) What are the surrounding peaks visible from the summit, to provide some context? Can these be linked together in any kind of traverse?
