North America, United States, Washington-Cascade Mountains, Winter Climbing in the Snoqualmie Pass Area

Publication Year: 1985.

Winter Climbing in the Snoqualmie Pass Area. Winter climbing has become quite popular on these small but rugged peaks. The area sports many excellent, short alpine climbs possible in one day from Seattle. The north face of Chair Peak and the south face of the Tooth are especially popular. In December, Jim Nelson and Scott Fischer climbed the east face of the Tooth. The steep face provided several pitches of difficult mixed climbing.
