Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 A pull-forward and review of the clues thus far: I think this might be a relatively easy one. Though I've been wrong before: Decided to try a DiGriz-style google earth 3-D terrain-mapped shot. Actually there is an Apple Maps version. It probably gives too much away (sorry Metabo) but here it is: In case pie-eater's hint wasn't enough, here is a view of the mountain from the opposite side. (But don't look down, it might be scary.)
