DPS Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 My mother is a librarian and she gave me a video tape that the library was getting rid of. It was filmed by Steve Marts and featured a pair of young Skoog brothers doing a first ascent on Golden Horn. Kinda neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobinc Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Steve and his cousin, Boyd, were inspired by the early 70s film "Solo" to do a number of climbing short films; I think they also did one that included footage on Baker.

Cpt.Caveman Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 quote: Originally posted by mattp: I bet you were looking at Three Fingers. After you pass below Squire Creek Wall (all Granite without any glacier at all), there are some short walls along the crest near Salish Peak, but the only big mountain wall is the East Face of Three Fingers. The granite of the lower portion of the face is not really shown in the photograph above. You are probably right. My brother's grandmother's siter's cousin said there was a 5.8 there.

ScottP Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman: I am not sure if that is what I saw. I hikeed up the old SCP trail and it might be it but not sure. I remember the pocket glaciers being bigger and the slabs larger as well. I think I was looking at something else? Maybe to the left? or something else completely. I've been a ways up the SC trail and I've seen a lot of granite up in there to the south and east of Three Fingers. You can see it from the Summit of the latter also. Â Kind of up and left as you are going in... This picture makes me think that the headwaters of Squire Creek is just one big granite bowl.

Dru Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 There are huge walls on the east side of Spickard and Twin Spires/Mox Peaks has a giant east buttress. Good luck on the approach. You can see the walls in the Austin Post airphoto of Silver Lake in Red Beckey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid rock, just don't expect any pro you might actualy want to try those faces jordan, before you spray about how solid they are. and maybe climb a gravel pit too so you have some adequate comparison material.

layton Posted September 17, 2002 Author Share Posted September 17, 2002 The NE face of Tower has been climbed, although I dunno where the route goes (Red Beckey guide). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 yeah, but only one route on that whole face... it sounds like it goes up the vague buttress on the right side of the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Dru said: Â "Back to the topic, isnt the East Face of East McMillan Spire still unclimbed?" Â I think you mean the NE face. I climbed the S face / E ridge about a month ago, and there wasn't any real E face, just an E ridge. However, it does look like there is a large section of face (NE facing) just to climber's left of the N buttress. Â However, I wouldn't be suprised if the N buttress has never seen a second ascent, so it'd probably be just as much of an adventure.
