Well, on my way back from my
Penticton trip, I snapped this picture from my car. I guess it gives one an idea of just how big & sheer this peak is; one could just stare for hours at its solid
granite walls. Sometime, I hope to climb it; there is a trail leading up the front of it (pretty shocking I know) that narrowly by-passes the steep walls that one sees while going up or down the Coke. The views from the top are apparently pretty nice; that isn't surprising considering its prominence. I'm told it is a pretty tough climb though.

Two nice photos of this mountain (yours and the one already on the page). I had never heard of it before. Sure looks impressive. Too bad the page is an "orphan" with few pages linking to it. Any ideas on what other pages could or ought to link to this one?

here and
here are some aerial views; note in the second one the line of the railway running along the canyon-wall below the highway; musta been a pretty crazy trip in the old days....other pictures of this section of the Cascade Mountains are
also in this flight-tour.
This one is my favourit - I think that's looking west, in which case the big mountains in the background are, L to R,
Judge Howay,
Mamquam,
Robertson and
Skihist, but it might be looking south and those are peaks in the US, e.g. Hozomeen on the left -
this one puzzles me - that "fang" is to the east of the highway, in what must be the norhtern Hozameen Range, i.e. the
Bedded Range....I think maybe I've seen it from over by Tulameen but I'm not sure. And for the benefit of Pfly,
this image is taken from the same area, but looking the other way, giving an idea of how suddenly the terrain changes between teh Cascades and the Thompson Plateau....note the highway running through the "cut" in the valley in the middle of the image; same highway, only a few more miles farther along (
Coldwater River valley).
This and
this and
this are to the west/northwest of the highway after it leaves the pass, as are others in that sequence (Nos 62 - 72 - 73 onwards is the Nicola River valley). One of the peaks shown may be
Stoyoma Mountain, which is the highest thing, I think, north of the Anderson River;
Lytton Mountain from this direction would look pretty flat, though its sides facing the Frser and Thompson Rivers aren't.....

If I knew the igneous geology of the area I might be able to mention Yak Peak and other adjacent peaks, but even starting a detailed list of mountains on the
North Cascades page would include Yak Peak.
