layton Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Taken from Mt.Maude or the approach I think? Quote
tomcat Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Looks like the infamous Buck Mountain. Quote
tomcat Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 (edited) OK, I'm going with Buck again. Upon further review, I see Helmet Butte way in the background on the right .. the portion of Buck we are looking at in the photo should be the East [Northeast?] Face, and directly behind Buck should be Glacier Peak.

klenke Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 The picture is of Buck Mountain, taken from the east someplace. Tom, you and I were up there last August, so you'll probably recognize the huge North Face wall on the right side. Quote
slothrop Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 What's the rock like on that thing? I don't have the green Beckey guide to look it up myself. Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 I believe it is a mountain that Beckey named Bandit. Quote
Jake Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Yeah its Buck. That glacier looks pretty cool too when it spills over some rocks near the bottom. This picture doesn't really show it, though. Quote
Off_White Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 If I recall correctly from my green Beckey, that face is reputed to be loose and awful, and the first ascent party recommended against any other ascents. Its big though. Quote
rat Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 buck mt. is mostly rotten schist. however, the granitic pluton to the northwest near high pass has some good rock. the east ridge of mt. berg, called the "zen arete" by smokin' joe c. and shown in a photo on this site, is a nice 5.7 route and probably the most technical route you will find in the area. bandit pk (pk. 7107') is south of buck and north of d lake along chiwawa ridge. access to trinity requires 20 miles of snowmobiling at this time of year.
