COVER DRAWING: Seattle Times. November 1, 1971. Alan Pratt artist. August - September 1971 3 MAJOR ACTION BEGINS ON THE ALPINE LAKES FRONT Foreword: In July, The Mountaineers published 102 Hikes in the Alpine Lakes, South Cascades, and Olympics, with 44 of the hikes in the Alpine Lakes area of the Cascades. That was a good shot. Then, in October, also from The Mountaineers, came the splendid Brower-style "exhibit format" book of 93 color photos by Ed Cooper and Bob Gunning, text by Brock Evans, foreword by Dave Brower — The Alpine Lakes. If that doesn't wake up the nation, it's not asleep, it's dead. However, books are only partof theweaponry. A forthcoming article in The Wild Cascades will survey the battleground as the various forces assemble. It is expected that early in 1972 not one but three separate bills will be introduced into Congress: one embodying the conservationist proposal for an Alpine Lakes National Recreation Area with a Wilderness Area core, a second formalizing the 1965 "wilderness on the rocks" plan of the U. S. Forest Service, and a third expressing the desires of the timber industry. The letter reproduced here, signed by every member of the Washington State Congressional delegation, represents a significant preliminary maneuver.

Cliff, Chief U.S. Forest Service Department of Agriculture Washington, D.C. Dear Chief Cliff: In its 1965 report the North Cascades Study Team described the Alpine Lakes region in Washington State as "an extremely beauti­ ful area of high mountain lakes and peaks believed tc be unmatched elsewhere in the country". We share this assessment of the Alpine Lakes region and the surrounding area. For a number of years individuals, groups, and government agencies have made suggestions for special manage­ ment of the entire region. We would like to see Congress resolve the management questions through legislation. Specific plans have been submitted already by groups inter­ ested in the region. We understand that the Forest Service has been studying the area, and it is our desire that this study be completed and a proposal submitted to the Congress as soon as feasible. Having such a study and proposal was most helpful when we considered the North Cascades legislation several years ago, and we deem it urgent that the Forest Service submit a plan for the Alpine Lakes country. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Warren G. Magnupon Henry M. jacxson Thomas M.

In recognition of your request, the Forest Service will expedite the current resource review of the Alpine Lakes area in every way possible. The completion of our planning will depend upon the timing of the mineral surveys currently being conducted by the U. S. Geological Survey and Bureau of Mines. We will conduct and expedite public meetings to discuss the resource data as it becomes available in order to have the reviews completed at the earliest possible date. If the mineral survey proceeds on schedule, we estimate that the proposal will be ready for public hearings in October of 1973. We are providing a copy of this letter to each member of the Washington State Congressional Delegation. Sincerely, EDWARD P.

Using tree-ring methods, we dated deadwood to AD 815– 1350 and infer from death dates that the eruption occurred in late summer AD 1350. Based on wood anatomy, we identified deadwood species as Pinus albicaulis, P. monticola, P. lambertiana, P. contorta, P. jeffreyi, and Tsuga mertensiana. Only P. albicaulis grows at these elevations currently; P. lambertiana is not locally native. Using contemporary distributions of the species, we modeled paleoclimate during the time of sympatry to be significantly warmer (+3.2°C annual minimum temperature) and slightly drier (−24 mm annual precipitation) than present, resembling values projected for California in the next 70–100 yr. © 2006 University of Washington.

    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1963 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE SKYKOMISH RIVER 30- BY 60 MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON By R.W. Tabor, V.A. Frizzell, Jr., D.B. Booth, R.B. Waitt, J.T. Whetten, and R.E. Zartman INTRODUCTION From the eastern-most edges of suburban Seattle, the Skykomish River quadrangle stretches east across the low rolling hills and broad river valleys of the Puget Lowland, across the forested foothills of the North Cascades, and across high meadowlands to the bare rock peaks of the Cascade crest. The quadrangle straddles parts of two major river systems, the Skykomish and the Snoqualmie Rivers, which drain westward from the mountains to the lowlands (figs. 1 and 2). In the late 19th Century mineral deposits were discovered in the Monte Cristo, Silver Creek and the Index mining districts within the Skykomish River quadrangle. Soon after came the geologists: Spurr (1901) studied base- and precious- metal deposits in the Monte Cristo district and Weaver (1912a) and Smith (1915, 1916, 1917) in the Index district. General geologic mapping was begun by Oles (1956), Galster (1956), and Yeats (1958a) who mapped many of the essential features recognized today. Areas in which additional studies have been undertaken are shown on figure 3. Our work in the Skykomish River quadrangle, the northwest quadrant of the Wenatchee 1° by 2° quadrangle, began in 1975 and is part of a larger mapping project covering the Wenatchee quadrangle (fig. 1). Tabor, Frizzell, Whetten, and Booth have primary responsibility for bedrock mapping and compilation.

  • AVALANCHE! Yell It Out! by Dave Galvin
    AVALANCHE! Yell it out! by Dave Galvin We live and recreate in the corner of the globe (do globes really have corners?) with the largest snowfall on record (world record is held by Mt. Baker Ski Area @1,140 inches or 95 feet in 1998‐‘99, followed by Mt. Rainier ‐ Paradise@1,120 inches or 93 feet in 1971‐’72). Such snow accumulation, especially in big dumps such as happened over the weekend of February 17‐19, 2012, often leads to snow sliding downhill unexpectedly. With often deadly results. Avalanche photo from Wikipedia. Lawine.jpg @ Click on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lawine.jpg . Big Avalanches - YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0RWLxOFGLY ► 1:54► 1:54 and watch the 2‐minute clip. Turn off the annoying music that accompanies the hair‐raising video (the music implies a “yee‐ha, ride‐‘em” attitude that is disrespectful of those who have died). If your palms don’t sweat by the ending, you don’t have a pulse. Note one thing in the film clip above: how fast that snow was moving. You cannot out‐ski or out‐board the downhill momentum of an avalanche – one’s only hope, once caught, is to get off to the side, or to ride it out while staying near the surface and hope you have helpers nearby. The goal is to not get caught. More about hope below. An avalanche is “a sudden, drastic flow of snow down a slope, occurring when either natural triggers, such as loading from new snow or rain, or artificial triggers, such as snowmobilers, explosives or backcountry skiers, overload the snowpack.”1 Here in the Northwest, we typically have what are called “slab avalanches,” which react to a stress point and result in a whole section of snow (a slab) to break free and start to move downhill.

  • Washington Alpine Club
    Sahalie Historical Note # 9: Our Neighbors, Washington Alpine Club Right across the road from Sahalie Ski Club is a neighbor organization with a history as long and colorful as our own ‐‐actually even more so on both counts. The Washington Alpine Club was formed in 1916 by a remarkable early character in the outdoor Northwest: Anna Louise Strong. Anna Louise arrived in Seattle that year, a 30‐year‐old Ph.D., author, outdoor enthusiast and radical. She must have been somewhat intimidating ‐‐ a whirlwind in the young pioneer city of Seattle. She immediately organized five summer camping expeditions to Mt. Rainier, each with 40 to 50 participants. This group, known as the Cooperative Campers, formed the origins of the Washington Alpine Club.1 Anna Louise is credited with the first winter ascent of Mt. Hood, and served as a guide (the first female?) on Mt. Rainier. She was elected to the Seattle School Board, joined the Wobblies as a socialist sympathizer, and editorialized in support of the 1919 general strike. She eventually became so radicalized that she moved first to the Soviet Union and then to China, where she hobnobbed Anna Louise Strong c. 1913 (photo from with Mao and was buried with state honors in Beijing when U.W. Special Collections, #UW340) she died there in 1970.2 3 Quite the character, indeed! Her later exploits were so off the charts that “her name was an anathema to many [Washington Alpine] Club members.”4 The Cooperative Campers persisted after the founding whirlwind moved on. Renamed the Washington Alpine Club in 1927, it branched out into promotion of hiking, climbing, skiing and all‐things‐backcountry.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Alexander Schriener Jr.for the degree ofMaster of Science in Geology presented onOur-'5A15 icr/B Title: THE GEOLOGY AND MINERALIZATION OF THE NORTH PART OF THE WASHOUGAL MINING D RICT, SKAMANIA COUNTY HINGTOAP Air Abstract approved: . 4AWW.TarPAPrOv Cyrus Field The Washougal Mining District is approximately 50 km (30 miles) northeast of Vancouver, Washington, along the western slopes of the Cascade Range. Although the district has produced the unostentatious amount of $572 in metals since1903, the presence of porphyritic intrusions, hydrothermal alteration, brecciapipes, and base-metal mineralization typical ofmany porphyry copper- molybdenum deposits give thisarea increased exploration signifi- cance. Bedrock in the district consists primarily of mafic to inter- mediate flows and volcaniclastics of probable Eoceneto Oligocene age, which have been intruded by the Silver Star plutonic complex. This complex is composed ofa chilled border phase, diorite, quartz diorite, granodiorite, quartz diorite porphyry, gran.odioriteporphyry, and granite aplite, in probable order of emplacement.In addition, at least 21 tourmaline-bearing breccia pipes, interpreted to have formed by late-stage magmatic fluids, are associated primarily with the granodiorite phase. The phases of the complex display the systematic and continuous variations in mineralogy and chemical composition that are characteristic of a rock suite differentiated from a single magma which underwent late-stage silica and potas- sium enrichment. Northwest-trending folds and faults are found throughout the Washougal District.There is a close correlation between joint plane orientations, and lineaments determined from aerial photographs. This association suggests that pre-existing north-northeast- and no structures controlled the emplacement of the intrusion and localized the related hydrothermal mineralization.

  • Morning Star Peak, Vega Tower, Marvin's
    AAC Publications Morning Star Peak, Vega Tower, Marvin's Ear Washington, North Cascades During the Fourth of July weekend, a planned climb on Vesper Peak (6,214’) turned into an alpine picnic due to my wife Shelia experiencing first-trimester morning sickness. But another piece of rock had caught my attention during our hike over Headlee Pass: Vega Tower (5,480’), a sub-summit on the north ridge of Morning Star Peak (6,020’). [Editor’s note: Vega Tower is looker’s right of Vegan Tower, another sub-summit along the ridge that’s home to the popular route Mile High Club (see AAJ 2016)] Vega had one technical route listed in the Beckey guide on its western aspect, called Starshot Ridge (5.8), said to have been established by Jerome Eberharter and Reese Martin in 1981. Martin passed away in 2004, but I was able to contact Eberharter, who said he was actually down in Yosemite during that time and wasn’t Martin’s partner for Starshot. As best I could tell, Starshot stayed to the right on blockier terrain, but the aesthetic west ridge proper appeared to be unclimbed. A couple of weeks later, I returned with Imran Rahman.
