| | The Klickitat Problem | | Klickitat County, Washington's highest point was the quest of two outings, one with Dean Molen, on "Mt. St. Helens Day" (May 18) of 2003, and another on October 18, 2009 with Don Nelsen and Ardith Bowman. The problem has been that nobody has really known where the highest point is, until this last visit when we set out to determine this once and for all. Read the captions to gain an understanding of the dilemma and its resolution. As it turned out, we happily were able to resolve the question without burning down the trees. :-) |
| | Climbing Mt. Cleveland | | Mt. Cleveland is the highest peak in Glacier National Park, and for Duane Gilliland and me, it was the last peak we needed to complete the list of 58 Ultra-prominence peaks in the Lower 48 states. |
| | Duane completes Washington's COHPs | | My long-time mountaineering pal Duane Gilliland completed the Washington County Highpoints on the summit of Mt. Daniel on August 3, 2008. Here are some photos from that climb. |
| | Skamania Mania | | My second visit to the Skamania County, WA highpoint - a "liner" on the west ridge of Mt. Adams - was much more enjoyable than I could have predicted. |
| | Pacific Northwest Images | | These images can be used with a screen saver slide show or other purpose. Their resolution is 1024x768 pixels. All images were taken in Washington unless otherwise noted. |
| | The Lower-48 Ultra-prominences | | Until May 18, 1980, there were 58 peaks in the contiguous 48 US states with at least 5,000 feet of topographic prominence. That list of 58 peaks is not known to have been completed by any single person, although two people, Bob Packard and Edward Earl, had completed the 57 such peaks which now remain. Because my friend Duane Gilliland and I both climbed pre-eruption St. Helens, we were hoping to be the first to complete the list of 58. This we did on August 17, 2008 on the summit of Mt. Cleveland in Montana, the highest peak in Glacier National Park. These are photos of those peaks or from my climbs. (Album still under construction). |
| | Mt. Cleveland | | On September 5-8, 2007, Duane Gilliland, Vernon Garner and I made an attempt on Glacier National Park's highest mountain - Mt. Cleveland. |
| | Boundary Peak 16 October 2006 | | My cousin John Hood and I tackled Nevada's highest point, Boundary Peak, on a cold windy day a few days after fresh snow had fallen on the mountain. |
| | Mt. St. Helens | | On July 21 the mountain was reopened for climbing after having been closed since October 2004 due to the new dome-building eruption. I was lucky enough to join a party who had an extra permit, and climbed it on July 25. What an awesome experience it was! |
| | Bonanza Peak | | My final Washington county highpoint was that of my birth county of Chelan. Duane Gilliland, Joel Mickelwait, and I summitted Bonanza on July 15, 2004. |
| | Big Horn | | This album was created in memory of Ed Holt, who was the leader of this climb that took place on September 25-26, 2003. The objective of the climb was "Big Horn" in the Goat Rocks Wilderness near Mt. Curtis Gilbert. |
| | Climbing Mt. Olympus | | Photos from our August 2003 climb of Mt. Olympus. Photos taken by several climbers, photographer identified in the captions. |
| | My friend Dean | | Pix of Dean Molen from our many county highpointing outings together. |
| | Hi-res pix | | These are high resolution photos that some may wish to download for printing or other purposes. |
