The detection of very energetic cosmic neutrinos demands "km3" size detectors, such as IceCube, Auger, or the future EUSO space telescope. Here we explore an alternative, novel Neutrino Telescope (NuTel) with a mountain as target and a valley as shower volume. Converting ντ → τ in the mountain, one picks up the direct Cherenkov pulse from τ decay shower in the valley, via a wide field, fast electronics telescope placed on a second mountain. Thus, "Seeing an AGN (or GC) from Behind a Mountain" also constitutes a (νμ →)ντ appearance experiment! The focus of our discussion is the efficiency, acceptance and rate of such a construction. We then take the Mauna Loa - Mt. Hualalai combination on Hawaii Big Island as potential site to study the sensitivity and sky coverage. The detector concept will emulate EUSO. Collaboration formation is briefly discussed.
