Can anybody help me identify the peak in the picture and where it was likely taken from? I have this photo in my desktop slideshow and is named as though I took it, but I can't pinpoint the location.

The reasons I climb, and the climbs I do, are about more than distance or altitude, they are about breaking barriers within myself."
Must be Ouray, because that's what I thought too. Although I was thinking it looks like this from the top of Monarch ski area.

Definitely Ouray with UN 13,472 just in front of it....my guess as to the location the picture was taken from, just looking at how they are lined up, is from either Shavano or possibly "Esprit Point"...just a guess though.
Seems like the times that I need a mountain the most are the times that I can not get to them.
Here's Ouray from Shavano in summer 2005. Looks like a good match.

Here's a pic a friend took of me from 2003 on Shavano's summit. While I think the view in this pic is obscured in clouds and Ouray would be more over my right shoulder, Look at the rocks off on the right side the pointy rock that's circled. Kinda matches up.
