Are there any crags located above 8k?

Most of the crags at Shuteye come up just short of 8k, with a few small exceptions. Several of The Balls extend above 8k, which is the Ansel Adams Wilderness Boundary. Pretty cool to climb up a rock face into official Wilderness and note the dramatic difference.  :)

The Pyramid below the Fire Lookout should be over 8k, the lookout is at about 8300'.
