Top 100 horse when they decided to add this peak to the list. I
have contemplated many scenarios as to why they decided to do
so. But until I get the definitive answer from one of them, I
will have to be content with conjecture. The peak has very
little prominence (80 ft), and, to be fair to actual peaks,
isn't even a peak. Instead, it is merely a crag--the highest
point on the aptly named Ripsaw Ridge. The peak, er crag, is a
quarter-mile west of Mt. Buckner's summit. Both summits can be
done in the same day. Horseshoe requires a little bit of roped
climbing (half-a-pitch).
