Off_White Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Keep going Matt, I'm counting on you. More obscure than Sahale, access via N Cascades Hwy. Two routes on the peak: left skyline and easier thing on the backside. I know another one just waiting too... Quote
chucK Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Sorta looks like Forbidden from the BB side. Quote
Off_White Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Well Chuck, I think its the same kind of rock, and you can almost see it from the top of Forbidden. Quote
dberdinka Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Maybe one of the more impressive features in the Cascades... Â Quote
dberdinka Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 gregm - almost, not quite though  As for Dino Pic -- uhhhhh...Mt Blum? Quote
snoboy Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Dat's Steinbok. Â NE Buttress, FA '79 by my former employer... Â Nice photo BTW Quote
klar404 Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 hey mattp, is that the n face of castle? the veg looks wrong.... i dunno. Quote
philfort Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Is this one the north side of Methow Pinnacles? Â Quote
Off_White Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Darin, I'd second snoboy's guess, but I'd hesitate to include it in the Cascades. Beckey included it in the Red Book, didn't he? I'd have to say he was grasping, but I'm hardly an authority.  Dru: nope, sorry  I'll post details on my mystery in a little bit, perhaps without Lowell in attendance we don't have the cascade obscurity beat adequately covered.

snoboy Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 OW - it wasn't a guess, that's what it is. Â The Canadian Government topo, 92H/11 Puts it in the CASCADE MOUNTAINS. Mountains don't give a hoot about borders. Quote
Off_White Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Awesome Snoboy, I'd have hesitated to claim that hunk of stone as the Cascades, but I guess geologists are mostly non-partisan. Dramatic lighting makes for a great shot. Quote
snoboy Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 They probably just looked it up in Beckey Quote
dberdinka Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 You're killing us Off White. What in the hell is that? Quote
j_b Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Matt's looks like Matriarch, Off's .... twin sister? but that ain't gneiss. Quote
Dru Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 I thought Offs looked like Sir donald W face except that it isnt. Twin Sistas are olivine, not gneiss. Quote
Off_White Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 (edited) okay, okay. It's Thunder Peak, othewise known as the NE peak of Mt. Logan. Â edited: I really wasn't feeling well yesterday, what was I thinking? No trip reports in spray. Edited January 31, 2003 by Off_White Quote
mattp Posted January 31, 2003 Author 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? Quote
j_b Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 Thunder is not often climbed that for sure. The rock looks half decent from where you are standing  yeah Dru, it was my point since Off mentioned it being the same rock as Forbidden, so I aready knew I was wrong. Quote
