[TR] Nooksack Tower- North Face 8/28/2006

[EWolfe]

I just found an article by Dad in 'Summit' (April 1961) of an ascent of the Nooksack Tower.

Family friend Dave Hiser and Mike Borghoff, October 1960. They "diagonalled across North Face" to make their ascent.

15 months before I was born.

 

A quote:

 

"Cascade bushwacking has it's reward, I reflected, and that reward is the positive knowledge that there is a barbed-wire barrier between you and the civilized world, coupled with the kingly privacy of your very own alpine meadow."

 

History sent to my by an Alpinist Extraordinaire!

 

Peace, All!

Edit: 5th ascent!

I like this quote. We were much more eloquent back in the day.
