Voted 10/10 | Actually, apparently (according to Roper, who has the hardcopy USGS map) there is a 7320+ contour at the summit of Gypsy Peak. It cannot be seen in Topozone because it is hiding beneath the section line locator mark. The contour in question is possibly the little brown streak in the top-right quadrant of the red plus sign here. The 7309 elevation value is dubious in that, as I recall, the BM was a few feet below the highest summit rocks. Therefore, Abercrombie is at least 12 feet lower than Gypsy. | |

Hasn't voted | Drove up Flume Creek road on 7/2/05. While the road is quite rough, the real problem lies with the heavy brush along the road. some portions of the roadway are less than 5 feet wide given the overgrowth. Much worse than I experienced in 2003. My hopes are the road is due for a brushing. This is a great trail to take if scrambling to nearby Hooknose. We left the trail heading for a saddle between Abercrombie and Hooknose making the trip to Eastern Washington's third highest peak much shorter. Look for a lovely spring with a pool near the final major switchback on the trail. | |
