Good day everyone,
I just had a quick question. What are the names of the peaks sourrounding Fall Reserivior over at Idaho Springs. I was up there this past weekend and climbed a section of the closest one to the reservior, not the tallest one, but the one with the rockiest face and was wondering what the name was.
Fall Reservior Peaks

Re: Fall Reservior Peaks
Parry Peak is to the north and Mt. Eva is to the south. By the rockiest and closest I think you're referring to Eva, the summit of Parry is a ways up the draw and lookers right from the reservoir.

Ok, I finally got my pics downloaded. But looking thru some topo maps it does look to be Mt Eva. Thanks a ton guys and here are some pictures. We didnt get far because of the snow fields, I was actually wearing tennis shoes and didnt feel safe climbing any higher then 12K

There is a mostly (I assume by now) snow free route up Eva from the south side of the ridge in the pictures. I posted a trip report a while back about an attempt back in June that failed due to some large cornices approaching the summit. Fun route though
