- Climbers Guide/olympic Mtns 4t
The only climbing guide devoted to Washington’s Olympic National Park—now completely updated and expanded with more than thirty percent additional new material. • New Alpine Rock, Crags and Sport Routes, and Bouldering sections added • Expanded historical and biographical anecdotes • GPS waypoints added for key route descriptions From the hard basalt lava peaks of Constance and The Brothers, to the high-angle faces of The Needles and Sawtooth Ridge, to the sandstone and vast glaciers of Mount Olympus, and hundreds of other mountains large and small: It’s the definitive climbing guide authored by Olympic Mountain Rescue (OMR), a group of volunteers dedicated to saving lives for the last 50 years through search, rescue, and mountain safety education. In preparing this new edition, OMR drew not only on their own extensive experience throughout the range, but also on the knowledge of the National Park and Forest Services and other organizations and climbers.This greatly expanded new edition adds an Alpine Rock section featuring classic climbs, a Crags and Sport Routes section revealing several rock climbing challenges within a short walk from roads, plus great bouldering locations. In addition, there are enhanced route descriptions for "High Alpine Traverses" including refined Bailey Range data; new traverse legs have also been added.
Founded in 1957, OLYMPIC MOUNTAIN RESCUE works primarily on the Olympic Peninsula, but has participated in many missions in other ranges, including Alaska’s Mount McKinley, as well as providing frequent assistance in the Cascade Range of Washington and Oregon.
