If someone came to the Northwest and said that he had to climb five routes and only five routes, these are the one's I'd recommend:

 

1) Outerspace

2) Dreamer

3) N. Ridge of Stuart

4) Northwest Face to North Ridge of Forbidden Peak

5) North Face of Shuksan

 

I think these routes are some of the best because of the sound rock, views, and quality climbing. They aren't necessarily the biggest or the hardest routes in the range, but I do think that they are all qualify as "must dos."

DFA, I listed routes that I have done that someone "must do." I picked them for the quality of climbing, position, classic status, and fun from different regions of the NW.

 

I have personally done the pioneer route, soloed the W. face variation, and also did monkey space a few times. Maybe I'll suck it up and try the west face next.

 

My "want to do" top 5 might be:

1. Yokum Ridge

2. Hyperspace-Outerspace-Orbit linkup

3. R.O.T.C. and Supercrack at midnight rock

4. Balanced Rock

5. Thin Red line-Liberty Crack linkup

these would be my picks as well except i'd replace dreamer with something at index, like godzilla.

2. NW Corner, NEWS

Over W Face, NEWS?

 

 

 

This is supposed to be our top 5 climbs that WE HAVE NOT DONE YET. Correct?

 

If so, here is my list:

 

Rock:

NR Stuart

SF Prusik

NEB Slesse

Japanese Gardens, Index (I need a ropegun. RuMR?!, MisterE!?!!?, BobbyP?!)

Just about anything in the southern picketts

 

Not rock:

NF Hood

Triple Couliors, Dragontail

Ptarmagin Ridge, Rainier

NY Gully, Snoqualamie

Some other stuff... I like rock climbing.
