The Blockhouse, on the Rat Creek/Hook Creek divide, N of the Enchantments, in Washington. Seen from The Shrew, a couple of segments of the Icicle River Road are visible a mile or so below.

Cool...

I only have one of the Blockhouse, glad you posted this. Do you have enough to make a page for it?

Re: Cool...

I wish. This is my only good one, and all I really know of the route is what I read in Beckey's guide. We tried the route from this side but chickened out at a short, but hangerless bolt ladder before we even reached the tower. I'll take a whole slideshow worth of pictures when you drag me up it. Maybe the N side with the "overhanging V-chimney" :-o

Rope cannon?

What about the Mole, can you do the page?

Re: Cool...

Between the 2 of us we might do a creditable job. I've only found 2 photos: the 5.8 face from below and the top, from the mesa. Do you remember enough of the route to make it worth more than the guidebook?
