Looking South - Federal Blvd & 84th

[BTL]

On the horizon I see Pikes Peak directly south, but to the right (west) of Pikes, I see another prominent peak(s) silhoutted against the skyline. Does anyone know what peak(s) this is? It has an interesting shape.

Devils' Head?

EDIT: Does it look like the first picture in this thread?

You're probably looking at Sentinel Point. It's a fun peak, but not ranked. I've snowshoed it a few times, and the top is a great class 3 scramble. The conical shape makes it easily identifiable.

I think you're looking at Devil's Head.

OK... two against one, and I'm pretty far south (the Springs) and have no idea what you guys are looking at - and I know rijaca knows his peaks! He and Dr. No are probably right. Here's the link to that peak on LoJ: Devils Head.

Looks like a very popular place...

And LoJ probably doesn't really convey the scale of its popularity.

I assure you it's climbed by thousands of people every summer who have never hear of LoJ or probably ever climbed/hiked up another mountain in their lives.

Lots of solitude up there in the winter though once Rampart Range Road is closed.

I wasn't referring to the list of folks who've climbed it on that page, but rather the comments in the trip report: Trip Report. Hakes notes "Expect gigantic crowds from Memorial Day through whenever." That's enough to keep me away :D

Also a popular rock climbing destination, just fyi:

Thanks all! Yes, Dr No, that 's the peak I'm seeing from Federal (based on the picture from the other thread). It really stands out from that vantage point. I drive that route eveyday and it's been bugging me - can't believe I haven't asked sooner.
