Tuckerman Ravine faces east, toward Wildcat. Given that the angle of the shot is to a bit east of north from the lake, I would think what we may be seeing is the upper part of the Oakes Gulf, with Mt Monroe above and to the left. The ridge below and to the right of the MtW summit would then be the Boot Spur, and Lion's Head would not be visible. Actually, past Lion's Head (and not visible either) is the long gully called the Raymond Cataract, and past the ridge marking the other side of that gully is the Huntington Ravine.

Any takers on this opinion?
