Cool mountain! Lots of info and the pics from contributors are firs rate. The page is spiffed up to typically great Alan Ellis style. Thanks and well done.
Great page, Alan....and Great work !!!! I am anxious to try this peak, because I've heard sooo much about it. Some of my friends have gotten their "butts-kicked" on it. There is really not much, here on the east coast, that I can practice on. Yes,I've been up Mt Washington, and a couple others in that range, but the altitude is just NOT the same. Guess that Granite Peak is just one that I've got to go and do!!!
You have done a great job, getting all of this information together and so organized and understandable !!! You surely must be a Special Person to help sooo many folks in this way !!! thank you sooo much. MG.
Thanks for the vote and the comments. Granite is tough, but with a little planning and good weather, it's very possible. My recommendation is FTD plateau and to get as close to Tempest Mountain as possible on the approach. This will increase your chances of summiting. Good luck in your Granite climb.
Take notes when you go back. I would be interested in including a detailed approach description from Avalanche Lake on the main page of Granite Peak. Thanks.
