Crescent Mountain, North Ridge. Although of easy access from the Twisp River Road, Crescent Mountain has seen little activity. On a lazy afternoon on June 15, my brother Carl and I climbed its north ridge. We traversed the north-west basin to gain the ridge above an obviously time-consuming wooded lower buttress. Once on the ridge we found a straight line to the summit (II, 5.5).
