This pic, a simile

Voted 10/10

I like this pic, Bob. Stuart reminds me of the tallest kid in school as he walks down the hall amid the other students during a class break.

I love this picture. The haze adds a moodiness, looks like a water color painting.

I think this pic says a lot about Mt Stuart. What an amazing chunk of rock!

Just looking for future climbing ops, and this one caught my eye... perhaps I should get up to Washington!

	Hasn't voted	James, there's no doubt that you should "get up to Washington"! Our mountains are of low elevation because their bases are essentially at sea level, but low elevation does NOT translate to small size. The North Cascades are the most rugged mountain range in the US, when defining ruggedness by average slope. If you like lots of high-angle relief and alpine conditions (tons of permanent snowfields, lots of glaciers, etc.), and if you like remote wilderness country, nothing else compares. Mt. Stuart is at the very southern extremity of this region. C'mon up! -Bob
