jordop Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Tough one; its deep in the Cascades but surprisingly close! Quote
Stefan Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Give me a hint. Name the peak in the background on the right of the peak in question. Quote

Stefan Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 I want to say Frostbite, but the background does not match my guess..... Quote
dberdinka Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Peak in the background is Blum Peak, which puts this somewhere to the NE in the Chilliwack area...maybe....Nodoubt Peak? Quote
klenke Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Peak in the background looks like Redoubt so I'm going to say the mountain of interest is Bear Mountain (west or WSW side). It's the other side of Bear which has that really really steep wall (one of the steepest in the Cascades). Peak is just under 8,000 ft high. Quote
dberdinka Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 The infamous Peak 7259'. Coveted by many, climbed by few. Located at the head of Nesakwatch Creek. Central buttress climbed in 1948 by Helmy Beckey while Fred took the entire cheerleading squad to prom. In the late 80's Peter Doorish established 27 other routes with names loosely based on Dante's Inferno. Quote
jordop Posted June 17, 2002 Author Posted June 17, 2002 Yes, it's 7259', and Fred refers to it as Rapid Peak on p. 164 of the Red Album, but whatthehell is with your route descriptions Mr. Berdinka? Wheredya get that from? Quote
Dru Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 Rapid Peak, I thought it was Pocket Peak? Or is Pocket the next one over? Quote
jordop Posted June 18, 2002 Author Posted June 18, 2002 Pocket is the next one to the west, between Ensakwatch and Silesia creeks, sort of Half Dome appearing from the Reford trail. Rapid is the Bear appearing one at the head of Ensakwatch/Nesakwatch Quote
