Voted 10/10 | ...you know, you beat me to it with this mountain page. I was about 2 days from putting up it myself :). I'll add the photos shortly. Great page! rpc | |

Hasn't voted | hehe... sorry about that. ;-) I had often wondered why I had seen a Mt. Ellinor page up yet. I had a really nice climb in January, and still didn't see the mountain page up, so I figured it was overdue. I think the awesome early-season glissade alone was enough for this mountain earn a page! | |

Voted 10/10 | yeah we did this great little gem on Sat. Jan. 18th I think under perfect weather conditions. And you're right, the glissade was the best we've ever had - all the way down from the summit to the base of that chute with great twists and turns (and unintentional jumps off of protruding rocks). Good stuff! | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks Andy! As I am planning several big climbs this year, I am hoping to hit Ellinor again sometime this summer. Maybe there will be some more photo ops then. Paul | |

Voted 10/10 | Great informative page. If you are climbing in winter, will snowshoes suffice or do you need ice axe and crampons? | |

| Redwic | Lower vs. Upper... | |
Hasn't voted | Your page references the "lower" trailhead, and the distance from it to the summit being 6 miles. However, how much distance/elevation is saved by taking the "upper" trailhead? Is it the same trail? | |

| paule | Re: Lower vs. Upper... | |
Hasn't voted | The "lower" trail adds about a mile, but it feeds directly into the upper trail. When snow is clear on the lower trail, it is usually recommended to start at the upper trailhead to mitigate damage to the vegetation. | |

| Redwic | Thanks! | |
Hasn't voted | One more thing... Is the "upper" trailhead an "official" trailhead? Is it easy to locate? What about parking? | |

| paule | Re: Thanks! | |
Hasn't voted | Redwic, I am terribly sorry I am just now getting back to you. Both are "official" trailheads. Both are easy to locate, and there should be plenty of parking. It is mostly the upper trailhead that gets a little interesting in the winter time. :-) | |
