North America, United States, Washington—Cascade Mountains, Chimney Rock, Main Peak North Face

Publication Year: 1975.

Chimney Rock, Main Peak North Face. Mike Anthony and I climbed the eastern-most chimney on the north face. The chimney was unusual in that it cut very deeply into the peak. The ascent was done on August 10 in a whiteout. We encountered some ice inside on the second lead of the 320-foot chimney. Descent was made via the standard north- face route. F8.
