Body parts in peak names?

Indian Head
Owl's Head
Squaw's Bosom
Wolf Jaws

Keep 'em coming!

The Bulge.

Nez Perce (in the Tetons)

How about simply "The Tetons"

 

[Dr. Dasypodidae]

Surprisingly few, on the 770 list anyway; how about:
Sawteeth
Wallface
Saddleback
Tongue Mtn.
Scarface
Blackhead
Galehead
North Doublehead

The Bulge ???

While the more sensitive among us may find it offensive, you miscreants may find this excerpt entertaining.

DUH...

There's also the Disappointing Cleavage route on Mt. Rainier.

Disappointing Cleavage.

There's no such thing, especially on Rainier.

I'm waiting for the General Backcountry index to juxtapose this thread and John Swanson's thread "My Tarp is Getting Sticky" (which I won't open out of basic fear). That'll make my day.

The Ellenbogen is a 814-metre high extinct volcano. I believe "ellenbogen" is German for "elbow."

Hi Paradox. As you may already know I am a doctor of chiropractic and have spent countless hours doing human dissection. I have also spent innumerable hours (and continue to refresh my knowledge on a regular basis) studying human anatomy. Furthermore, I work with applied human anatomy day in, day out in my office.

I cannot recall any human anatomical structure that bears the name of Dix. Just to make sure I verified in my dusty old anatomy text books and went on-line to the anatomy department of the Quebec school of chiropractic.

Still nothing.

Perhaps you could post a drawing of this (unknown to me) anatomical structure.

Thanks in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.

The Uncanoonucs, two rounded mounds rising 700' above the terrain just west of Manchester, NH...
Uncanoonuc, in the Native American vernacular, refers to "the upper portion of the female anatomy."

 

[Paradox]

...blah...blah...blah...I cannot recall any human anatomical structure that bears the name of Dix...blah...blah...blah....

Pardon me for the misspelling I meant to say: Dix

But here are two more:

Harts Ledge

and

Pen Island
