Well, that looks like a diving board on a visor of rock. I can tell from the shadows that the face below this visor faces north west, and it looks like Mt Watkins way down below. The guy has no climbing gear on, so he might have sniuck up the back side, maybe pulling on cables.

So, obviously, I am guessing Devil's Tower.

Since I only see one person, it can't be the real. It must be chopped. I've never been up there with less than 100 people.

+1. They edited out that marmot that lives up there too.

Must be a post increase, but at least it's a decent shot.

Is the sun really the name of the sun?
I know it is a star.

Sorry I don't have any other summit pictures like that one.

Alpha Centauri, as seen from Zeta Reticuli.

What mountain did I take this photo from?
