Blewett Beta - Iron Mt?

[rbwen]

We skied yesterday off of Blewett/King Creek and on the way up there is a beautiful looking peak, about 5,500 feet, that looks like it would make a great scramble. The southern face has some cliffs that looked climbable (depending on the rock quality) but what I was seeing were the easier ridge lines on the E/SE slopes (pointing back towards Wenatchee).

 

We were about 10.5 miles south of Highway 2 on 97.

 

Is this Iron Mt.? Anyone who has climbed it have any beta? There was one soul with a helmet and ice axe heading up before us on foot and we assumed he was heading there.

 

Thanks!

if you're talking about the peak to the west then yes, that's iron mountain. gordon briody told me he has done some roped climbing on it. i've scrambled up it while working in the area. it's fractured volcanic choss for the most part.
