Interesting shot, I'd like to see one in summer green.

If this is the west ridge leading over to Little Chief, then the secondary peak east of Vesper is the top of the Breccia Pipe that constitutes The Sunrise Mine Claims and produces large amounts of small quartz crystals on its lower slopes after spring snows melt. The garnet claims are centered in your photograph -- see I can spell!

The Peak has only few bushes on North and East faces, but the ridge did grow out fairly quickly. The trees made our exploring short and scanty.

Your did it again, congrats!
