Climbing and access information for Black Tip (8,292 feet) is on Page 111 of the book. Black Tip Mountain (8,500 feet) is not in the book.
The description in the book is somewhat misleading. The book entry is for the formation known as Black Tip. The peak known as Black Tip Mountain is the high point of the massif and is located 0.4 miles to the southwest of Black Tip. The peak takes its name from the formation on its Northeast Ridge.
