MOUNT REDOUBT  8969' 

from NE

COPPER PEAK  8964'    P484

from WSW on Genius'.  Silas Wild, Bob Tillotson, and John Roper did a new route on Copper up the gully starting at the lowest central snow patch, going right into the next gully over at the small snow patch, then to the left ridge and up, on September 16, 1984. We came down the prominent gully right below the summit which is the way to do it, from this side.

SILVER STAR MOUNTAIN  8876    P2436

from the West. Lage Wernstedt climbed and named this in 1926, probably from this perspective. Silas noted the name-inspiring Silver Star on the face.

from Forbidden

ELDORADO PEAK  8868'    P2188

Hard to beat those aerial views--this is my only other. The 1200-foot McAllister Glacier Ice Fall is the finest in the North Cascades.  The contrasting aspects of Eldorado are striking.

On August 18, 2006, Fay Pullen became the 25th person to finish the Bulger List on this peak.  One of Fay's many claims to fame is that she soloed 72 of the Top 100 Peaks in WA.
