On June 19, Bill Eichenlaub and I climbed "The Breasts" in Glacier
Bay, Alaska.
These are prominent unnamed peaks as seen from Bartlett Cove.
Like the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, and Wah-to-Yah in Colorado, the name is
obvious.
The picture above is looking at The Breasts Peaks from the Beardslee Islands.
