Ridge (L) and Summerlin
Peak (R)

In Gully between Woody
and Whale, view N to
Little Red Rock Peak. That
was the original name for
Gottlieb, but that register
was buried in ice and mud in
2004. I tried to rectify the
error by transferring the
name to this little nubbin.

Whale at L; it begins

spots.

in Blue; I think we could
gone up a hidden class
2 gully at L, or another
gully just R of our route
near ridge. Paula's pic.

Amazingly, Laszlo

Gottlieb.

The statue disappeared
about 10 years ago.
