info about whitestone mountain

[mmeyers]

Does anyone have info on Whitestone mountain (just NW of Tonasket). I only saw it from Loomis-Oroville Rd, and I haven't gotten up close to it, but it looks interesting. It's awfully white (cleverly named, it is!), so my first guess is that it's not consolidated enough for climbing. That it's not in Beckey suggests the same.

Anyway, I just thought I'd see what the masses here might know about it, since it's pretty striking.

 

cheers!

I don't think it would be in Becky's books because it is too far east for what he considers the Cascades, and is instead in the intermontane region

fair enough. Chopaka and Hurley are in there, and those are just a bit north of Whitestone, but I suppose the line has to get drawn somewhere.
