Steph_Abegg Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) (Click the above image for a larger version) (Click the above image for a larger version) This was made by plotting the lat-long coordinates of all the +3000ft peaks in Washington. The peaks are broken up by elevation. North Cascades in the middle, Olympic Mtns to the west. There are a lot of peaks to be climbed! -Steph Edited February 18, 2009 by Steph_Abegg Quote
AllYouCanEat Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Very cool. Now if you had each one of those linked to a photo of the mountain and description, that would be rad. Perhaps you should join heads with Scurlock and put something like that together. We would all selfishly enjoy it!!! Quote
Steph_Abegg Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) I like that idea about putting together a page where each is linked to a photo of the peak.... For fun (not posted) I also made a plot where I set all the colors to grayscale and then highlighted in red any peak I have climbed. I think it would be interesting to put together a series of such color coded plots for regular Cascade climbers to see where we are climbing, or take a "peak poll" and make 1 plot where the colors represent how many people listed this peak as a peak they had climbed....

Mtguide Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 It would be interesting to see a plot of how many of these were first ascents by Fred Beckey. Quote
Steph_Abegg Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Anyone know of a listing of the North Cascades by first ascent? Or a list of Beckey's FAs? This would make an interesting plot, I agree.... Quote
Layback Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 That's cool. You should post this over here: http://www.nwhikers.net There's more than a few peakbaggers who would be very interested. Quote
slogon Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Nice map. Minor edit, I think Goode, Logan, and Jack Mtn should have pink triangles (9K+). Quote
Wastral Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Nice, now make that same map into spire measure. =) Then we get to see how much work it is to the top of each peak. Brian Quote
