JJ_jumps Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Hello! I'm looking for sheer wall cliffs in the PNW of at least 1000 feet. These can be negative (ideally) or ever so slightly positive. My goal is to get off some of these cliffs with a wingsuit and a parachute or at least a parachute. These wingsuits need about 1000 feet to get flying forward fast enough to clear talus that is likely below to make the flight longer. For instance, I've only seen pictures and heard stories about Baring wall off Hwy 2. It has about a 1000+ feet sheer wall sitting atop a talus of about 2000 feet. With a wingsuit it will turn into a 3000 foot jump. Another potential wall - Three fingers - has a 2000 foot sheer wall (from what I'm hearing...But is it really sheer?) and some talus. Does anyone out there have some beta on these or other potential sites or maybe some photos on these or other potential sites in the PNW? Any help will be greatly appreciated and if anyone is interested... We can always use some support crew Thanks!

klenke Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 I've been in possession of Stephen Fry's list of supposedly the steepest mountain faces in Washington. I actually have those top faces in terms of vertical drop for 1 horizontal mile of distance and for 1/10 of a mile horizontal distance. Since you would most likely only be interested in the latter, I will include only that list: #1 Mt. Index, W Face (2,150 ft = 5,150 ft - 3000 ft) #2 Baring Mtn., NNE Face (2,000 ft = 6,000 ft - 4,000 ft) #3 Mt. Index, ENE Face (2,000 ft = 4,760 ft - 2,760 ft) #4 Hozomeen Mtn. [s. Peak], N Face (1,950 ft = 8,000 ft - 6,050 ft) #5 Davis Peak, NE Face (1,830 ft = 6,780 ft - 4,950 ft) #6 Twin Spires [E. Peak], E Face (1,800 ft = 8,200 ft - 6,400 ft) #7 Bear Mtn., NE Face (1,755 ft = 7,920 ft - 6,165 ft) #8 Copper Lake Wall, NE Face (1,700 ft = 5,400 ft - 3,700 ft) #9 Three Fingers, E Face (1,700 ft = 6,600 ft - 4,900 ft) #10 Garfield Mtn. [N. Peak], NE Face (1,670 ft = 4,560 ft - 2,990 ft) #11 Booker Mtn., NE Face (1,660 ft = 8,120 ft - 6,460 ft) #12 Hozomeen Mtn. [sW Peak], N Face (1,660 ft = 7,440 ft - 5,780 ft) #13 Hozomeen Mtn. [sW Peak], W Face (1,640 ft = 7,200 ft - 5,560 ft) #14 Mt. Blum, NE Face (1,620 ft = 4,220 ft - 2,600 ft) #15 Mt. Bullen, NE Face (1,610 ft = 5,410 ft - 3,800 ft) #16 Mt. Shuksan, N Face (1,610 ft = 7,400 ft - 5,790 ft) #17 Peak 7895 nr. Mt. Spickard, NW Face (1,600 ft = 7,600 ft - 6,000 ft) #18 Bonanza Peak [sW Peak], W Face (1,540 ft = 9,140 ft - 7,600 ft) #19 Hozomeen Mtn. [s. Peak], E Face (1,540 ft = 7,740 ft - 6,200 ft) #20 Hozomeen Mtn., W Face (1,510 ft = 7,910 ft - 6,400 ft) I don't know how much Mr. Fry actually did his homework, so don't take this list as gospel or definitive of the highest cliffs in the state.
