Thanks Alpine Tom for the link. Great information there. Second question,has anyone out there climbed the highest 25 (50, 100) peaks in the state? How long did it take you? Is it worth it? Any interesting stories? G.B. [ 12-15-2001: Message edited by: gearbot ] [ 12-15-2001: Message edited by: gearbot ]

Hello All, Does anyone out there have a list of the tallest 50 peaks in Washington State? Or knows of a book which has a list, or where to look for one, …. Thanks for the information. G.B.

It is just me or is the "Last 25 Posts" and "Last 40 Posts" links not working correctly?

If you think Climbing is bad, start reading Rock and Ice.

Hello everyone, As best as I can remember looking north with Mt. Rainier on the left,here is what I saw: (please remember I am new to this area, so I am naming these peaks from pictures from Nelson’s first book, I have not climb them, yet): the nearest and most right was Glacier Peak (this was half rock and half snow), to the left and farther away was Mt. Baker (a large snow covered volcano), (I believe Forbidden Peak was back and between Glacier and Baker), next farther away and more to the left again was a long ridge of mountains, without snow, running more or less east to west, and poking up behind this ridge, very far away, was a tip of a mountain. You could only see the tip and it completely white. Any ideas what this mountain was? Hope this helps.

Hello All, I was on the top of Mt. Stuart last weekend. A beautiful day and an excellent view ! Since I am new to the cascades, I am still trying to figure out where and the names of the different mountains. From the top, looking north, I saw a very small white top way in the distance, probably in Canada. Can anyone tell me the name of this mountain? Thanks.

Has anyone else out there read some of the books listed in the reference section of “Extreme Alpinism”? I have read 5 of them so far and they all have been excellent. It is the book that keeps on giving.

Oh, that’s interesting. Does anyone have anything useful to contribute?

Hello all, I have recently moved to the Seattle area and need to buy a car (sadly, my old car did not make the trip). A feature in a car that has always interested me is the ability to sleep in it. So, I would like to buy a car with a bed in it, like a VW bus, vanagon, eurovan, etc. (the night I slept in the front seats of a standard car, a VW rabbit, was not very satisfying). I have a few questions for all you Pacific Northwest veterans before I rust out and buy one of these cars: Do the police and the locals leave you alone when you are sleeping at a trailhead or rest area? How do these cars hand in the winter in the cascades in the snow? Can you put chains on them and does it help? In the summer in the cascades, on the drive to the trailheads, is there much driving dirt roads? How does these cars hand this? Any information on this topic will be greatly appreciated.

Just for curiosity, Can anyone post before and after pictures of Ms. Bensman?
