It's not a pointy peak
People think Mount Whitney is a peak with a point. Well, it sort of has a point, but it's mostly flat on top.
That's why I loaded this picture. It was taken from the air. There's a little hut on top. You can barely see it.
That's the hut right behind me in the other photo, which is goofy beyond belief -- the guy in the funky jacket, not the hut.
It may be the highest mountain in the continental U.S., but you don't scale it like it's a pointy peak.
