Jim and Marlene are making a book on great traverses they tell me.

How about Eldorado to Sahale? Ever been done?

 

there's the Tantalus Traverse....start at Pelion, tag Tantalus, Dione, Serratus and then Alpha and end at Lake Lovely Water...

 

 

or the Viennese-Clark in the Chehalis Range

 

Here's a good one...I think Steve Schneider did the FA solo....

...or an "off-the-wall" traverse of the arch N. of Rainier ...

Any [good] traverses in the Eagle Caps? Currently in the market for one.

[AllYouCanEat]

Some good ski traverses in wa. Lots more than this. But good ones are Nooksack Traverse (white salmon glacier, to nooksack, over icy and ruth peaks and out twin lakes road).

 

Mineral High Route: Ruth to mineral to whatcom and challenger.

 

Anyhow, too sick right now to think. I'm sure others will add.

Someone on another site told me he wanted to do the Formidable-Terror Traverse? Interesting

[jordansahls]

What about going Maude->7fJ->Fernow->Copper? The Entiat TRaverse??

Hit up all those 9,000'+ Peaks. I'm not talking about Josh Kaplan climbing 3 in 24 hours, but about a summit ridge trvaerse.

 

Has it been done?

 

That would be a painfull ordeal. The rock all the way up Fernow is shit, and so it 7fj, also Maude sucks ass for rock quality. I doubt that their is one pirtch of solid rock on the whole thing. Anyone who has the balls to do a direct summit ridge travers of those peaks deserves lots of respect.
