Re: Nice!Thanks, Misha! One drawback of doing the really long dayhikes is that I can't wait around for decent lighting conditions, and rarely have the patience to search around for a better shot. (I've noticed a distinct inverse correlation between the length of the hike and the quality of my pictures). I probably got lucky here.

Re: Nice!Good shot! It looks like the mountain is composed of metamorphic rock similar to Ritter.

Re: Nice!The dark peak in the background is a little peaklet south of the true summit (which is hidden from view). It really stands out from all the surrounding terrain, including the main peak, which is all nice granite.
Piute has some good, solid rock--much nicer than the loose stuff in the Ritter Range. Someone more ambitious than me could probably find some very enjoyable technical routes on the peak, almost certainly first ascents.

Re: Nice!This is exactly why I still really like backpacking and sleeping in the backcountry :)

Re: VeryIt was wonderful--I sat there for half an hour just soaking it in. A gorgeous setting.
