The sweeping face just left of center is known as Wham ridge on Vestal Peak (quite a popular low 5th-class route), hence the wham reference. It has also been skied, though I’ve heard varying stories of just how much of it has been skied. (Anyone know exactly?) The peak just right of center is Arrow. In the other photo from the summit of Rhoda you can see some of the other gems of this range- The Trinity Peaks are looker’s left of Wham ridge, and on the far right the impressive peak is Pigeon. Without a doubt some of the best peaks in the state.
