Thanks Adam. No effort is wasted when it's appreciated so much.
There's a summit pano in there too - just for you!! Pity that the air wasn't clearer but better than no vis at all. The day after we got back it rained like the blazes.
Another wonderful piece, I especially like the historical background you’ve written about; it adds a depth to the mountain, which to me, is as important as its geology, geomorphology and topographical character. Bravo!
Thanks Dan. In Crown's case the history is so important that it would have been gross neglect to omit it. I would be justifiably worthy of considerable rebuke by somone using my page to climb the mountain and finding out later that he/she had been somewhere of such import without knowing it. Not - at 16 recorded ascents in 22 years - that this would apply to too many but you never know.
One of those 16, by the way, was a day trip!!!!! I should put this fact in the page I think.

Re: Excellent page!!Many thanks Bill. Bring along your best navigation skills and prepare to get intimate with the biomass. All worth it though.

EH ??Crown Mountain really takes the crown! The views must be out of
this world, especially on clear days. Outstanding work, Martin!!!

Re: EH ??Many thanks Larry. Only the air clarity on the summit marred a perfect trip. I'll trade that for the weather we had however.
