“Grimface,” Cascade Range. During the second week of August Doug McCarty, Steve Barnett, and I climbed new routes on “Grimface”, the prominent granite peak between Wall and Lakeview Creeks on the Canadian side of the boundary. A route on the east face was free (F7) and a more delightful one on the south face was free (F8) after an aid crack. The area is approached by way of Cathedral Lakes Park; one has the option of a mind-boggling dusty nine-mile uphill hike, or the private and overcharged jeep services of the key landholder.
