	Voted 10/10	No, I don't. A lot of these giants seem to fade into the woodwork. He's probably out there, chuckling if he ever reads this :). I was just thinking today that if I ever get back to Washington State for a period of time, I think the greatest thing I could do would be to attempt one of his routes on the Norwegian Buttress above Lake Serene. Ignoble failure would still be a reward, because that is certainly failing big! :D

I'd never even heard of the Wild Sky Wilderness. Now I want to go there!

	gimpilator	Re: Lovely!
	Hasn't voted	Take my word for it. Many of the other wilderness areas in Washington are a better choice. SP member Redwic might argue with me because he is sentimental about the Wild Sky, but it is not the best. The best area to visit for mountaineering is probably the North Cascades National Park. On the other hand the Wild Sky is known for it's lack of trails, washed out roads, and lousy bushwhacking. Many of the smaller peaks have poor views on the summit. But if this picture inspired you, then I have accomplished my goal. If your thinking of coming to Washington, check out some hikes on the Mountain Loop Highway or on the Mount Baker Highway. PM me if you'd like more info. -Adam

A stunning photo! Looks cold. Not familiar with this mountain but being located in a wilderness area with the name of, "Wild Sky", it HAS to be good!

	Hasn't voted	Actually, you're right. Baring is a good climb. The peak next to it, Merchant, is also supposed to be good.

Amazing photo. You do really nice work. It also took some effort to be out there in the cold. Thank you for sharing and giving me a thrill.

After I climbed Baring I knew I would never look at it the same. Every time I see it I think, I can't believe I climbed that thing. This shot is fantastic. Great work here Gimp.
