chucK Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 The one on the right in Klenke's is Three Queens, with Chikamin in the foreground Quote
klenke Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 It is actually a guessed view from a peak in the North Cascades that I have never been to. So, in a way, it's based on a real view. Not Three Queens (which I have climbed), but I can see the resemblance. Quote
Off_White Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Cool, Off. What is it -- 15 miles in there? Would it be worth it to haul skis in there in the spring? Â Yeah, it might be a fun spring thing: over easy pass, down the Fischer Creek valley, turn left up into the cirque. The brush up the side creek would be tamer, though the bowl might have avy concerns. There is a reasonable VERY brushy ramp up the right side, then you're into the douglas glacier bowl. Should be a good ski up to the douglas/banded col. One could do Logan from there, then down the banded glacier and into Thunder Creek for a great spring adventure tour. Summertime, we left the th late in the afternoon for shade on the Easy Pass grind, slept on the other side and took our time up the side valley. Bear alert. Coming out was one day easy, with an early supper brew before the discouraging 1800' grind back up to Easy Pass. Summertime flowers on the meadowed Fischer Creek slope are stellar, and Easy Pass has all the charm of Cascade Pass with none of the visitors. Be forewarned that the interesting rock face directly west of the pass, dubbed Little Johannesberg, is reputed to suffer from lots of loooooose rock. But that's just the guidebook, so who knows?

Off_White Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 This one will really have you stumped. Â Which one are we talking about, the black one, the medium gray one, or the light grey one (you bastard)? Quote
j_b Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 the grey one could be shuksan but I can't figure out the foreground with this view Quote
Off_White Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Maybe next we can resort to making hand shadows against the curtains, to be followed by miming the crux moves. Quote
gregm Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Maybe next we can resort to making hand shadows against the curtains, to be followed by miming the crux moves. Â ok. you're climbing along. there's a blocky mini butress to your right, and a nasty gully to your left. you need to move left to just the top bit of the gully. you have your right hand in a two finger pocket. if you REACH you can just get your left hand into another two finger pocket. it's not steep, but you have no feet. Â hint: you probably just stuck in a pink TCU. Â Quote
proper Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 I like this Mystery Photo thread so I'll contribute another one. It'll be easy for you guys....see attachment. Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Klenke, looks like Whitehorse with Three Fingers in Background. Â Where was this one taken from? It's easy! Quote
gregm Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 whitehorse? that's not whitehorse. i'll guess sahale to proper's. Quote
klenke Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 For Bill's photo: couloir leading up to Forbidden West Ridge. Haven't been there....yet....so just a guess based on mountain positions in background. Looks like J-berg in foreground. Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Very close Klenke. Within a mile or two. I bet some people take this to the spot you mentioned. Â Here's another to keep you gremlin's happy. Â Â Â Quote
allthumbs Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Speaking of Whitehorse. Why is it so seldom climbed? Quote
Off_White Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Very close Klenke. Within a mile or two. I bet some people take this to the spot you mentioned. Well, a mile or two would put you on Torment, but I can't figure the route, approaching the NW ridge? The second shoot could be looking across the scoop of the SE face of Torment.. Quote
eric8 Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Bill is that boston from the boston sahale col? i'm kinda just throwing that out there. Â Trask i think whitehorse is climbed pretty regulary. Or i guess i should restate thats as i know a couple of people who have climbed it, more then once. Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 (edited) ok, a mile, more like 2. Your very close. popular route. Looking SE. ..........Wait!!!!!! my trusty map and ruler says 3 miles. My Bad. Â Eric8: Not Boston Peak, or might I say, not the pile of choss stuck in the Cascades. Edited January 31, 2003 by Bill_Simpkins Quote
Off_White Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Here's another, in the spirit of Dru's earlier butt shot, but I'd wager at least 50 people on this board have been up this stellar pitch. Quote
klenke Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 That second picture posted by Bill is not a mountain at all but a close up shot of a pile of fresh, steamy bull shit in some farmer's field. That's my guess and I'm sticking to it. Actually, I hope I'm not literally sticking to it. Quote
plexus Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Bill, Your second shot is of the Twin Sisters. Proper, I want to say Eldo, but that isn't knife-edged enough of an arete... Quote
mattp Posted January 31, 2003 Author Posted January 31, 2003 Is Bill's shot the West Ridge of Stuart Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Plexus. Correct. My previous pic was on Eldorado Glacier. Quote
forrest_m Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 matt, is that the first pitch of clean break? Quote
