klenke Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Hint? Looks like Enchantments rock. Possibly the Nightmare Needles down by McClellan Peak. Or something in that vicinity. Quote
Alex Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 kind of looks like the area around silverstar, like the first part of Vasliki Ridge. But since jordop is posting it it must be in BC somewhere, eh? Quote
LYleK Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Is it the ridge above Kingdom and Noel Lakes (Mt. Fergusson)? Quote
jordop Posted January 5, 2005 Author Posted January 5, 2005 1. It's in WA 2. it's in red Fred 3. The face is unclimbed 4. It is a 14 mile hike to see it Quote
John Frieh Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 If Layton and Jordop know about it then it has too be another bullshit choss community service project route. Â As my good friend Brock always said: it hasn't been climbed yet because its bullshit. If only I'd believe him Quote
klenke Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Grimface isn't in Washington. I was going to say Cathedral because A) I don't think its N. Face has been climbed and B) there is a notch near the summit (but I don't think it's as pronounced as your picture intimates). Quote
forrest_m Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 it's not cathedral (cathedral is much more pointy), but based solely on the 14 mile clue, i'm also guessing paysatan. amphitheater, maybe? maybe remmel peak or somewhere around there? come to think of it, it does look kind of like a reversed photo of grimface.

klenke Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 The problem with Castle as a choice is that its N. Face has more than one route on it. It's not unclimbed. Â Though they're not in Washington but just over the border, it looks sort of like Macabre & Matriarch. Here they are (right-center) from the other (south side). Cathedral is the thing in the middle; Grimface is just to Cathedral's right: Quote
klenke Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Maybe it's the East Face of Amphitheatre but I doubt it (drops off too much on the right). Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 You're right, not Castle. For some reason That was my first thought, but the amount of shrubbery and just the rock itself is totally off. Looks like WA Pass or Enchantments, but my bet is WA Pass somewhere because of Red Beckey Book. Quote
jordop Posted January 5, 2005 Author Posted January 5, 2005 Some are close . . . but not in Cathedral or Pasayten Quote
Stefan Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 (edited) Bigelow or Star  ooops...these are not 14 miles in.... Edited January 5, 2005 by Stefan Quote
layton Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 just leading y'all astray w/the grimface thing. Â clue: hiking trail, it's not on the way to anything, owe it to us, we didn't climb it for a good reason lately you can't ride a mtn bike most of the way b/c lots of downed trees due to fire indeed it's in red fred way back there a far hike yucky Quote

Dru Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 the north face of cathedral is 3rd class, i'm too lazy to post the picture, i'm sure darin has an annotated pitch by pitch topo Quote
jordop Posted January 6, 2005 Author Posted January 6, 2005 You all suck. It's Mount Holliway. Who's got another one? Quote
Ponzini Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 OK, here's an easy one. Jordop already has this picture, so he can't answer! Quote
