I’m standing on a minor ridge of Cobb Peak just below the high point of the day's exploration. In the left distance is Crater Island, the northern extension of the Silver Island Mountains. Much closer is an unnamed two-tone tower having a summit elevation of 5622 feet (1713m). The salt/mud flats below are at about 4200 feet (1280m). Close to this spot I found evidence of another person's visit: a small sardine can. This is where I started my climb.

This airy photo was made possible in part by
my trusty photographic assistant, Joe Tripod.
