Fortress Mtn., near summit.
About 8600'. Climbing up through a white-out and getting above the clouds is always a big thrill.
It's a fairly easy scrambling route. This is a pretty big mountain for Washington, or for a creature with 6" legs.
You can see the U-shape of the Chiwawa Valley, and the pitiful remnant of the glacier that once filled it.
This is looking east, towards dry central Washington. We're right on the divide; the clouds are coming in from the west off the sea, dissipating as the air falls over the crest and warms.
The triangular peak at right is Mt. Maude, 9060'; Al and I will spend a night on that summit in 2011.
