peas Posted January 6, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Â 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Plinth Peak Getting in there might be hard (60km from Pemberton) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllYouCanEat Posted January 7, 2005 Share 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).

Dru Posted January 8, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
