Talk:The Sawtooth

The Sawtooth: peak or ridge?
Someone just changed the page to say the Sawtooth is a "jagged ridge" instead of a peak. Which is it? Is the Sawtooth just a ridge, or is it a peak, or a ridge with a peak? The pictures in the linked page seem to show a sharp peak. Is that the peak of Mt. Evans? The linked page includes the text "past The Sawtooth to the summit of Evans" so I think the Sawtooth has its own peak. --Howdybob 04:36, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * When I lived at Echo lake and worked on the summit of Mt. Evans back in the late 1960s, people referred to the ridge as the Sawtooth, but I can see how the name could transfer to the highest of the three teeth on the ridge. The source of the name was, of course, self evident.  The ridge had three teeth that looked like the teeth of a saw.  The figure caption needs changing.  Will do. Douglas W.

 * In determining the coordinates of The Sawtooth, hIking websites such as 13ers.com and peakbagger.com place the location at the highest point of the ridge(summit), but listsofjohn.com places the location on one of the "teeth" along the ridge, perhaps because the USGS does as well. With that said, the USGS does not classify The Sawtooth as a peak or ridge, but as a pillar. Xnatedawgx (talk) 16:05, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
