Help with Frenchmans Cap place names

Postby guyburns » Mon 09 Mar, 2015 12:52 pm

I'm scanning and indexing slides from the early 1960s. Most place names I can work out, but the ones around Frenchmans Cap have got me beat. I was there 30 years ago but have long forgotten what's what.

I have uploaded four photos with lettered labels A-N, and have included the original label that appeared on the slides. I'm hoping someone can tell me what is White Needle, Nicoles Needle, Philps Peak, Sharlands Peak etc.

Thanks James. I’ve altered the photos to reflect your info. I’m still confused about Nicoles Needle and Sharlands Peak (see 1st and 4th photos).

Q1: Are they one and the same?

Q2: For “L”, which is Nicoles Needle?

Q3: Is one of the L’s what you called Little Federation?

Q4: What is “P”?

If there are any labelling errors, please let me know.

C and I are Nicoles Needle (Summit of sharlands Pk ). E G K N are Philps Pk. White Needle is under K. I think F is Little Federation (not sure as I can't find my old Frenchmans Climbing Guide ). Don't think D & J has a name. 0 is Barron Pass.

This drawing is from the old (197Os ) Frenchmans Cap climbing guide book. It contains another drawing looking up from Lake Vera.
