Name that obscure peak
- Thread starter sledhaulingmedic
- Start date
There aren't that many open-topped summits with climbable towers (vantage of 2nd photo) on them.
But ... I've never been on this peak. So my guess has to be a summit I"ve never been to, based solely on the tower. That guess is Pack Monadnock.

That looks like Washington as seen from the south looking north, so does that make the "heavily-travelled neighbor" Chocorua? Or maybe Kearsarge? What's in that area..........?

The first picture reminded me of the foundation on Middle Sister near Mt. Chocorua, but there is no tower to climb to look down on it. I know it's not Kersarge North since I was there just a few weeks ago. So in conclusion, I have no #$%&*n idea!

Chocorua is the neighbor:
I brought my own "tower" (rather, it brought me):
Yes, it is Middle Sister

That sure would be cool, but not in my budget. The helicopter was supplied by the Feds as part of the contract I was working on. It's likely to be a while until I have that opportunity again. Each trip cost more than I make in a week!
Although it was a little underhanded putting the ariel shot in there, it seems like everyone enjoyed it. Kinda of a variation on the "Name this Ski area" posts on Snowjournal.com.
Maybe a new tradition?
