Very nice page Sean. Looks like a mountain with quite a few difficult routes. It does deserve big mountain recognition and has gotten some from me:) Thanks for sharing and have a good one!

Already a nice page. It looks like an interesting peak to climb. Wating for photos from the summit and a route description.

Thanks Corax! It is a very interesting mountain, the route information is already there. I didnt make it to the very top, it got too extreme for me but I'm going back next weekend with proper equipment to summit. Ill be writing a trip report about my...eh... problems when I attempted this a few days ago.

Sean--

You put up good pages, of which this is another! Definitely an interesting, even weird, mountain.

One thing, by way of pointing out errors: you're misspelling both "couloir," and "bushwhack"--admittedly two of the more common spelling errors on SP, so you're not alone. That aside--good job!

Thanks Grizzly! Yes, it is a weird mountain and I plan on going back next weekend...I realized while typing the text out I probably spelled colouir 8 different ways, I'll run through spell check, thankgs for the suggestion.

I like your page, I'm interested in Topos also, which program did you use?

Thanks Derek! I used a progrom called TOPO from National Geographic. It is a series of CD roms, for mac or PC, that contains TOPO maps for the entire state, I think they now have at least the entire western united states. It is a bit pricey, around 80 bucks but it is well worth, I have spent hours mapping out routes and just checking out different features on the maps, it is really fascinating.
