Looks like you can camp close to here by walking 2-4 hours from your car. Nice camping /hiking details. The author says the challenge comes after camping. There is a long walk through the forest to the mountain. This saddlebacked mountain has a pretty bold peak. Great photos and current weather should put this one on your to do list for the PNW
Thanks Judy. I have corrected the information in the main page overview. Please let me know if I still have misrepresented anything.
My original information was forwarded to me by climbing historian Harry Majors. I told him of your message. He agrees that he was wrong, that he based what he told me on his memory alone and not on his notes. My (and his) apologies to your father. Is your father still alive?
My 83 year old auntie, Miss Martha Vent, on her birthday today June 17, 2005 started again to reminisce about her schoolgirl-era penpal Keith Rankin, the debonnaire mountaineer whose picture even I have fallen in love with since it is avalanching with nostalgia. SInce receiving the b&w photo portrait of Keith Rankin in pre WWII Estonia, all Martha knew about his fate was missionary work, marriage, and a daughter. Well, tonight Martha is extatic to have spied Keith and Ruth Rankin's daughter's Judy's kudos on your website feedback. Thank you SP.org! Illimar altosaar@uottawa.ca

Untitled CommentI appreciate your comments about Mt Chaval.
My father, Keith Rankin, did climb this mountain back
in the 1940s along with my mother. They climbed over
40 mountains in the Cascades and the Olympics over
their time in Washington. My father was also in the
Search and Rescue at it's beginnings.
So, thank you for mentioning their names.
Judy (Rankin)
