Off_White Posted January 30, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Sorta looks like Forbidden from the BB side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted January 30, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dberdinka Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Maybe one of the more impressive features in the Cascades... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted January 30, 2003 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted January 30, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I thought Offs looked like Sir donald W face except that it isnt. Twin Sistas are olivine, not gneiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted January 30, 2003 Share 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.

mattp Posted January 31, 2003 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_b Posted January 31, 2003 Share 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.
