Esienhower Tower is correct. I had no idea that would be so hard*

Yep, Think you won...

I also thought it reminded me of Cima Piccolo in the Lavaredo, but that's far purtier.

Yeah that is pretty. OK, here's another one (the range will suffice, since I'm not even sure of the distinct peak names from this side):

Not Sawtooth, not Castle Crags.

Hint #1 - Named after something found in a church.

Nope, but good guess.

Hint #2 - the highest peak is named after something you wouldn't want to step on if you were barefoot.

Hint #3 - "spring" on one side "cross" on the other.

Looks like the Grotto (the one near Sonora, not one of the 50 other crags with that name).

Route: AC Devil Dog?

Correct location, wrong route name. FCP is a good one too, in the same genre.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
