Re: More 5th Class Peaks

Added Castle Mountain and Achonee Tower. Not adding the other 2. Perhaps make your own list and call it "Summit Boulders"

Re: And More

What defines a "rock"? "The Pear" has more prominence than "Dicker's Peck" or Devils Thumb...

Re: And More

I guess that one can be added...do you have any better photos of it? I am classifying "rocks" as either a pile of boulders (or a single boulder) and stuff with less than 50 feet of prominence...the typical minimum length for a single pitch.

Re: And More

Here is a photo of "The Pear" from Mountain Project: http://www.mountainproject.com/images/72/50/105967250_medium_a1804a.jpg

I will try to remember to bring a camera next time I'm at Lumpy to get a photo.

Both "Dicker's Peck" & Devils Thumb have only 40' of interpolated prominence. I'm not sure if you want to remove those or maybe change the prominence criterion to 40' since that is the contour interval most commonly found on maps of Colorado...

Re: And More

Sounds good...Yeah I didn't think about the contour interval on topo maps. That is probably a better criteria. I'll add The Pear. Thanks

Re: And More

"Fin City" & ""Window Rock" both have 40' of interpolated prominence & are not summit boulders atop plateaus...

Re: And More

All I know about Lumpy Ridge is that it is a cragging area and I need a lot of convincing to add peaks to this list that are in cragging areas. Are those peaks "cool" or do they have an adventurous feel to them?

Re: And More

Lumpy Ridge encompasses a huge area and in fact "Window Rock" is not considered to be included in this area. Both peaks don't have a trail leading to them, are rarely climbed and offer some real exposure, so I would say yes to the cool/adventurous feel.

I'm not sure you should be using that as a criterion, though. Does Rabbit Ears Peak have an adventurous feel when a popular 4x4 road leads right to the base? How about Dog Head, which is literally in someone's backyard?

Re: And More

Makes sense...a lot of these peaks were already on the list when I adopted the page as well which I didn't check every one. I can add them.

Re: And More

I know...I have been climbing and working a lot the past week. I'll try to add them today. Thanks

Re: 8 More

Matt, It looks like you added some of these, but might have missed "Green Mountain Pinnacle", "Terror Summit", "The Sentinel" & "Fo"...

and maybe..?

I haven't climbed West Eolus, but I've seen it from the high basin between the S and W ridge of Mt Eolus, and it sure doesn't look like Class 3-4 territory -- anyone been there?
