peas Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I was recently up in the Phelix Creek area and noticed a mountain to the South with a large gash running up its north Face. I checked on bivouac, but couldn't ID it and haven't had a chance to look at topo maps or guide books yet. For a little more specific, but still vague, description of where it is, from standing on top of Aragorn, it is just to the left of Gandalf, and across at least one major drainage. Anyone have any idea of what this peak is? Quote
peas Posted January 6, 2005 Author Posted January 6, 2005 Yup, that would be the one. Thanks. I don't know how I missed it. Quote
AllYouCanEat Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Man that looks like a fun ski. How far is that from seattle? Quote
jordop Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Man that looks like a fun ski. How far is that from seattle? Yeah, lets ski all of Dru's snow lines!!!!!! Quote
Dru Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 if you ski the beautiful nightmare i will buy you a beer. Quote
jordop Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 if you ski the beautiful nightmare i will buy you a beer. Naw, it's been done. Hmmm, maybe Owls Couloir, or has that been skiied too Quote
AllYouCanEat Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Hey jordop let's go! I'll hold you up to that beer Dru. Quote
Dru Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 The sunlit line left of the arete dropping off the summit has already been skiied by the Whistler posse. To get the beer you have to ski the shadowed face just right of the central arete. Quote
AllYouCanEat Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 I'm jittery with anti....cipa...........tion just looking at it. I'll need a name, so I can find a map then I'll let you know how it goes by spring Quote
Dru Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Plinth Peak Getting in there might be hard (60km from Pemberton) Quote
AllYouCanEat Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Umm, yea, that could suck. Maybe as soon as I quit my job you can buy me a beer then (I don't drink, so you would have to sit and watch a cold beer go warm but I'm not one too say no. It's the thought that counts). Quote
Don_Serl Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Getting in there might be hard (60km from Pemberton) it's called: s-n-o-w-m-o-b-i-l-e... Quote
Stemalot Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Plinth Peak good luck with that! I think the best way is to get dropped off by a chopper. Quote
Dru Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Snowmobile will have a hard time getting through the locked gate and 45 km of "industrial-users-only-allowed" plowed road to where the snow starts. Quote

Dru Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Exactly, Frank B has the geotechnical drilling crew up at Meager this winter. Quote
