  1. I have descended it but I wouldn't say it's "so good". In fact I'd give it about 2 out of 5 stars.
  2. 5) North face of Rideout - Culbert route. (IV 5.4) 4000 feet of rock, there's got to be a solid hold in there somewhere. Maybe a clean one too. Probably not the same hold though. Culbert said it was "great training for the Rockies". No known repeat ascents. 4) None But The Brave - Marble Canyon (IV 5.9) "We probably would have retreated if any of the anchors had been solid enough to rappel from" - Robert. 3) The Weremouse (IV 5.7) - Cayoosh Wall "God knows why they were climbing this stuff when they could have been nailing Cathedral Park granite" - guidebook author 2) The Barrier - (V, 5.9 A2) Crown Mountain Almost certainly an entirely fictional route, the crux 30' 5.9 A2 aid roof not only having never been climbed, but never seen again, despite apparently prime visibility from the Grouse Mountain tourist helicopter 1) Northwest Passage (V, 5.8 A4) - Squamish. "THE classic big wall route on the Chief" - Beckey. Crux aid pitch involves pins nailed directly into a tree.
  3. I remember when I did this trip with Fern and Billygoat we were looking pretty hard for the Nodder. Where is that Nodder?
  4. You mean like the word 'gullible' may or may not be misspelled in most dictionaries?

  8. So if they charge $5 at Skull Hollow, are they going to charge $10 at the bivy site by the showers, or what?

  14. More info/pictures please? I have not heard of this peak. See Alpine Select pp. 305-314
  15. You might be embarassed to admit you're doing it, though.
  16. If you really want a PNW ticklist you could always use mountainproject or rc.com.

  19. Yes, but not an official name - obsolete in fact under the naming heirarchy adopted in the 1960's and formalized in S. Holland's 1976 physiographic work. Cordillera - all the mountains Mountains - groups of ranges Ranges - groups of individual named ranges Range - group of individual summits Mountain or peak - individual summit. So: Mount Waddington in the Waddington Range in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains of the Cordillera. That's the way the Canadian system works.
  20. i woke up under your mom once. ok, more than once.
  21. Izzat so? Don Munday's book is fairly littered with references to the Coast Range. I don't think he was in Oregon. http://ilmbwww.gov.bc.ca/bcgn-bin/bcg10?name=21188 Coast Mountains is the older name and has precedence, to match the Columbia Mountains and Rocky Mountains.
  22. Could you see any activity from the nesting falcons over in the closed area?
  23. The best route is the one having the most fun?
