A - Sam Fink Peak
B - Castle Rocks
C - Black Mountain (although there are several points that could be referred to as Black Mtn, this is the one I think of)
D - Cienega Point or Cienega Peak
E - Unnamed as far as I know
F - Unnamed as far as I know
G - Unnamed as far as I know
H - Unnamed as far as I know
I - Unnamed as far as I know
J - Unnamed as far as I know
K - Unnamed as far as I know

Maybe one of the unnamed points is the Lepake Peak you spoke of?

Hey thanks for the input Jim! There's a few in there that I've never climbed, this is great.

As for Lepake Peak, if you click on the link quoted above, you will see an unamed peak x 10,388 ft. between jean peak and marion mtn. I believe that is the one. I will upload a picture in a few minutes!

Ah. I believe that's the peak the RMRU guys refer to as "Shirley Peak." It's marked as point "K" in my first post.

The two most reliable sources right there. I knew they were gonna answer your questions.

Those guys can answer any questions about anything wilderness around here.

You're right Steve, I expected Jim to answer as well

Thanks guys, you are all extremely helpful and inspirational!

Here's a pic of Lepake Peak (or Shirley Peak):

It's the one right in front of Marion, a little bit up and right of center.

Yes. And no. :lol:

Yes, the one you're referencing is the one that is the USGS named peak and is the one on the Hundred Peaks Section list.

But also that whole area is collectively referred to as "Black Mountain" and there are a number of high points in it. I guess I marked that particular bump because I've heard PCT hikers talk about having to go "around Black Mountain" (the point I marked) and because of its proximity to the Fuller Ridge trailhead. I worded it "there are several points that could be referred to as Black Mtn". I guess I could have been slightly less confusing. :lol:

But, yes, the official Black Mountain is the one you list. I should have marked it as such. :oops:

Okay, I did some research on this guy's username and IP and decided to make a pre-emptive strike before he spams us.
