Not sure exactly where, but it looks like Sunlight Spire is center, with Vestal and Arrow peak in the background.
EDIT: After a little more research, it's from the summit of Windom Peak.
Thanks! I've got to get to Chicago Basin!!!

Hey Justin! I was looking at your route, and sorry I only noticed this after you left #-o, but I did have a suggestion that I think could save you a little time. When I was scouting for Holy Nolans I realized it is a pretty similar hike to get Holy Cross Ridge and Holy Cross from a trailhead off Homestake road. It's called the French creek trailhead in Roach's 13er book. The best part is that I think it would save lots of biking miles as you wouldn't have to bike all the way down to and up the tigiwon road. Anyway it's just peanuts compared to the entirety of your route, but I found myself thinking back to my 2003 self-powered 14ers wishing I had known about it. Good luck!

Tracker shows that Justin has summited Culebra and Red. 3 down! (and about 285 miles traveled since Tuesday morning!)

He seriously rode a MOUNTAIN bike with all of his stuff on it almost a century a day for three days straight? That is crazy impressive.

Probably doesn't want a rematch with the Como Bears.
