Here's another photo from the same general area, to the left of the other photo. That first mountain would be to the right (south) I think that big'n is Columbia on the right. Dunno about the left rock face. [ 09-26-2002, 01:33 PM: Message edited by: iain ]

The summit is actually shaded somewhat in this photo so it looks like rock. It was ice over, but definitely looked steep from this spot. This was taken this April. I'll see if I have a few shots from up on the Gothics that might help. Welcome to thunderdome.

Whoop, dru made me look like mr. redundant. There's also the selkirks of northern idaho.

Looks like we be having some bulletin board probs... Selkirk is not in the selkirks. I didn't realize how far south Assiniboine is though. I need to get up there and head up a few of those rockies peaks.

That map is pretty cool, thanks. Probably Bryce I guess. That picture is looking through the Houdini needles (steep skiing ) area which would put you in line with Bryce I think. Columbia seems too far north and would be close to Tsar from that angle, which would be noticeable. Thanks for the help.

Perhaps you folks can identify something for me in the Canadian Rockies. This is looking east from the Adamants across the Columbia. What peak is that in the distance? Probably something really well-known and popular but I have not been in that area.

Piolet cedar? check it out

I dont see any photo.Sorry didn't add it, and when I edited the message the bulletin board accused me of flooding. I'd never do that

(is that what the mss in your photo name means? ) My thought process was: "I'd better rename these picts...nah no one would be such a geek as to analyze the name of the file." Dru wins again. And the glacier? Not hard now that you nailed the range and mountain.

can't believe dru (carey) hasn't rung in with a response yet. maybe he's letting others have a chance.

PC load letter, what the f does that mean? negative. Here's another shot of said glacier, with said mountain in back: [ 09-26-2002, 09:23 AM: Message edited by: iain ]

Another shot of the mountain in question...

where's my stapler...it was a swingline name dat mountain and for bonus points the glacier from which the picture was taken!

quote: Originally posted by CraigA: iain: Have you climbed the West Ridge as well as the West Face? Like I said, next weekend I'll be scanning my pictures and I'll post them for your perusal. Yeah, I approached the West Ridge from the north wall though (not Jern's Call, the one to the right) to avoid the dinner plates. The west face is a good distance north of this, facing the PCT. It angles up and left to the white rock up high, right on the corner. Here's some of the west face, if it helps figure things out: Second pitch: Third pitch: Cletus: I may well be off, it's been years since I've been in there to climb NW of BT. You're probably more on the money. [ 09-25-2002, 08:04 PM: Message edited by: iain ]

quote: Originally posted by Freeman: Randonne - French for can't tele Heh, here we go. Funny how it's telemarkers who are self-concious enough to introduce the jabs. You usually see that bumper sticker on suby's in the parking lot at Mt Hood Meadows, as a pair of T-Races/Bandit XXX's comes off the rack. That's a better parallel setup than my randonee-imprisoned heel crap! Anyways, I know you're just joking around. Doesn't matter how you get down the hill. I ski with plenty of tele-heads.

You can approach the NW ridge of Broken Top from Broken Top TH on forest road 380 past Todd Lake or Green Lakes TH (Fall Creek). Both are accessed by the Cascade Lakes Hwy from Bend a short ways past Mt. Bachelor. Green Lakes TH: 6.6 miles to Green Lakes basin, take a right, head up to base of NW ridge of Broken Top. Heavily-used, but beautiful. Broken Top trail from Todd Lake is about 6 miles. There is a short spot of slightly exposed climbing near the top of Broken Top that would be difficult with dogs. The summit itself is small. Dogs would probably have to stay on the ridge. Green Lakes TH stands a very good chance of being checked for Northwest Forest Passes.

Lower icefall, Eliot Glacier, approach from Cloud Cap or Tilly Jane in 1 hour or less. Not very realistic conditions for crevasse rescue as it is a dry icefall w/ no seasonal snow. Can practice mech advantage systems and whatnot though. The ice is in good shape, was up there last weekend.

can it scott'teryx.

quote: Originally posted by CraigA: We did the North Face of the West Ridge on Washington, although there is still some debate on that. We set out to do the West Face but I'm pretty sure we didn't get started in the right place. If you were climbing on the west face, you were probably climbing The West Face.
