As I'm not that familiar with the peaks in IPW, could someone please help to ID the 2 (or 3?) peaks behind Lake Isabelle in the center of the first photo, as well as the same 3 in the upper left corner of the 2nd photo? I would greatly appreciate it!
I was thinking they are Apache and Shoshoni Peaks but another friend thought they might be Navajo and Apache and Shoshoni is not visible. Could someone clarify? Thanks!

2nd L>R: Navajo (cone), the tiny Dicker's Peck, Apache(the big one), Shoshoni (foreground), George (just barely visible behind Shoshoni), Iroquois, and Hopi (with snowfield far right). Lone Eagle is hard to pick out but just below the snowfield far right.

Thanks, guys! I knew I could count on you! And yes, the 2nd shot was taken from Pawnee Peak.
The ID my other friend sent me is attached below. So just to clarify, what he listed as "*" between Navajo and Apache (the double pointed rise) you're saying is Dicker's Peck? And then is Shoshoni the "peak" he is saying is not really a peak but only a high point? Is everything else ID'd correctly?

His labeling of Shoshoni as out of picture is correct, and Dicker's Peck is the small spire directly in the Navajo-Apache saddle, just left of the top of Navajo Snowfield (so not the *).
In addition to Dan's comments, lone eagle is further right at the end of the ridge, hardly resembling a peak from most angles. "Limbo" is the point marked

Sarcasm or not, it's not even funny to post something like this. Not at this time. Reported.
