Ah, Beacon Peak, or so it's called in Roach's Indian Peaks book. A nice, obscure peak. (I maintain the Heartbeat Peak page which is a neighbor to the south.) You should probably mention that this is along the Divide between the IPW and James Peak Wilderness.
I hiked up this thing with our kid from the NW. From that direction, the peak is very small and hill-like, but your pictures have sold me on the fact that the mountain is much more impressive from other directions. Looks like it has some interesting routes.
Your a quick learner and this page is already much better than your first two, keep going like that! i agree with comments already given here: In order to make it a great page some additional info, coordinates and placing of id photo would have to be done.
For clarity, you're probably going to want to rename the peak 'Beacon Peak' to match the Roach IPW book. Most people looking for information on this peak are going to come referred from that book specifically, so your page will get more traffic that way. I don't believe that 'Radiobeacon' on the quad is a benchmark name but rather just a description of what the structure on the summit is, nothing else. It doesn't appear to have the benchmark symbol (a triangle), but instead has a circle, which appears to be an indicator for the summit structure.
The same as the others... Topo coordinates and a route page are the main things this page lacks. I'm sitting in my first block class now, so I'm not really able to go through the process of how to find the topo coordinates. I'll try to do that when I get home.

Untitled CommentBetter. Still a little bit "thin", especially the route detail (not a single photo), but four stars for encouragement.
