Yes, I made it using a tool we're developing. We've also made a tool that we call terrain tile styler that lets you color elevation, slope, aspect etc. Clockwork Micro

Here's a hobby web map I've started of the North Cascades focusing on the mountains and climbing: North Cascades. Please let me know what you think and what you'd like to see added.

My son just turned 8 and wants to start climbing. I plan to take him to Exit 38 a couple times through the rest of the summer and hope to get out for something a little longer before the end of the season. This would be a lot more fun with another parent/child pair to do it with. I've climbed a bit over the last handful of years, usually up to 5.9. We live in Queen Anne and can go to Vertical World. I'd much rather be out in the woods than in the gym, but Vertical World could be really good for meeting.

I created a little webpage to search for USGS Topo quads. The page has a search bar, so if you start typing, for example, Lake Anne...., the page will offer Annette Lake Trailhead, and then you can click to go to that, get the quad name and also download it.

Thank you @AlpineK I've corrected this. It may take a day or so to update everywhere due to caching.

I made a map of the climbs in the book Fifty Classic Climbs of North America by Steve Roper and Allen Steck. Several of the climbs are in our area: Rainer, Forbidden, Shuksan, Slesse, Stuart and Liberty Bell. I don't see that I can embed here, so I'll post the link: https://examplemaps.clockworkmicro.com/fiftyclassicclimbsofnorthamerica.html

I just saw your message now. Is it too late in the season or are you still doing some ski climbs? I have a flexible schedule and for the most part have put my skis away for the season and am looking forward to climbing starting in a couple weeks.

I just sent you a message.

I'm looking for a couple more partners for pretty much weekly single days out climbing, mostly in Washington Pass. I plan to climb almost every Friday, and will generally drive up Thursday evenings and camp. (I can do other days too.) Over the last couple summers I've climbed Beckey Route, SW Rib of SEWS, North Face of Burgundy, Prime Rib of Goat and Petit Cheval and want to do a handful more such days this coming summer. I prefer routes out in the mountains where you feel a bit removed and am not so interested in crag areas. It's just work and family that make it tricky to find time for longer trips. When I started climbing I took the very thorough Southern California Mountaineering Association's safety course and safety has always been very important to me. I'd really like to find another two or three climbers who can also regularly get out for a full day midweek. I'd propose that we meet for lunch and sort out some plans and then start on something familiar and then go from there. We can also meet at Vertical World. I'm 41 and live in Seattle. I started climbing about six years ago, but because of work and little kids have had a hard time getting out more than five days a year or so. This year I'll finally be able to get out a lot more. I hope to get started in April and then go weekly starting in May. Brendan
