Description
(see definition):
A short but prominent bluff with steep rock N face and sloping snow S slope. It overlooks the W side of upper Basecamp Valley just W of Pillsbury Tower, in the Jones Mountains. Mapped by the University of Minnesota-Jones Mountains Party, 1960-61. So named by this party because the bluff is composed of complex volcanic rocks giving the N face a very mottled appearance similar to the pemmican eaten in the field.
