Finally thought of another puzzler, hopefully as much of a challenge as the first.
Sure is pretty, isn't it? I'm fairly sure it's covered in winter snow, though.
(Any ringer who immediately knows the answer is DQed. We need to have some educational fun.)

Lembert Dome.
(Resurrected b/c 'YGD' is getting tiresome.)

Yes, there is some similarity with Lembert Dome. Lembert was formerly glaciated, and our puzzle still is.

It looks to be that nondescript rise near Denali that Cook posed on for his
'summit' shot. I always choose mine more carefully.

Not in Alaska, but eminently skiable - although the effort might be beyond Werner.
OK, Dave can play too. The more the merrier! But Glenn may know too much.

I don't have the answer for the peak In the photo but want to add to the game if you don't mind. The pic is Showing the West face of this Big Wall with 2000' of slab fallowed by another 3000' of steep main wall set back 3-400 meters from the top of the slab.
(Hint Photo) This is the 2500' East face of the same on the flip side of the first photo.

I was searching through images of Mt.Elbrus to see if I could match the mystery peak (alas, it is not Mt.Elbrus) but I did find this gem in the process. Isn't that an old Alpelit ice axe?

BTW, I'm pretty sure this bump doesn't meet the definition of a 'mountain'.

It's surely not a Teton, perhaps Mt Nipple?

Not Mount Olympus, not in the Tetons, not Mount Columbia (any of them), possibly beyond donini's "walk up" abilities. Not near johnny's Madagascar mountain, and a long way from Point Grey. (I haven't climbed it.) Definitely a mountain, both based on geographers' definition and popular usage.

Well I'm a geographer and it don't meet my definition of a mountain except
maybe in Ontario!

Yes, it probably would be good sledding, now that you mention it. In fact, it may already have been sledded, so to speak.
It shows a closed 50 m contour, maybe more, has its own name, and is a somewhat distinguished summit. It's only been climbed seven times.
