AAC Publications Golden Horn, East Face Washington, North Cascades On a Friday evening in June, Jason Schilling and I hiked in to explore the unclimbed east face of Golden Horn (8,366’), just north of Washington Pass on the eastern slope of the North Cascades. Fred Beckey and company made the first ascent of Golden Horn via the Southwest Route in 1946, then returned in 1958 to ascend the north face. Around the corner, Gordy Skoog and Jim Walseth climbed the Northeast Arête (III 5.8) in 1979. Gordy and his brothers, Carl and Lowell, returned with a film crew a year later to create an episode for KOMO-TV’s Exploration Northwest, called “The Goldenhorn Pinnacle.” Despite this colorful history, the peak’s 1,000’ east face had never seen an ascent, in part because it was rumored to be chossy. Eight years ago, I scrambled the Southwest Route with my wife, Arun, to sneak a peek for myself. Jason and I approached up Swamp Creek to reach Snowy Lakes, a popular camp spot off the Pacific Crest Trail. The next day we scrambled up the ridge and dropped east via a snow couloir, a straightforward descent with crampons and axe. We hit our stride en route, and I enjoyed leading the route’s technical 5.10+ third pitch, the crux, on good rock. The heat of the day hit us as Jason led the fourth pitch, which quickly turned into the day’s true crux, an expanding crack with poor protection and disintegrating holds (5.10 R). We rationed our remaining water and navigated up intermittent cracks (5.8–5.10). We encountered one more loose section on pitch seven, and I worked hard to keep the rock together and sneak in some pro. All in all, we free climbed the 11 pitches in 11 hours, onsight and without bolts or fixed protection. If, for some reason, other climbers are drawn to the golden morning glow of Golden Horn’s east face, they should expect to encounter bands of both good rock and kitty litter. We dubbed the route Fuck the Pain Away (IV 5.10+ R), after a hilariously bad Peaches song. – Joe Sambataro Images Golden Horn, showing Fuck the Pain Away (IV 5.10+ R) on the east face and the Northeast Arête (III 5.8).

Late Orogenic Mafic Magmatism in the North Cascades, Washington
Late orogenic mafic magmatism in the North Cascades, Washington: Petrology and tectonic setting of the Skymo layered intrusion Donna L. Whitney1,, Jeffrey H. Tepper2, Marc M. Hirschmann3 and Hugh A. Hurlow4 1 Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455, USA 2 Department of Geology, University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washington 98416, USA 3 Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455, USA 4 Utah Geological Survey, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114, USA Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] The Skymo Complex in the North Cascades, Washington, is a layered mafic intrusion within the Ross Lake fault zone, a major orogen-parallel structure at the eastern margin of the Cascades crystalline core. The complex is composed dominantly of troctolite and gabbro, both with inclusions of primitive olivine gabbro. Low-pressure minerals in the metasedimentary contact aureole and early crystallization of olivine + plagioclase in the mafic rocks indicate the intrusion was emplaced at shallow depths (<12 km). The Skymo rocks have trace-element characteristics of arc magmas, but the association of Mg-rich olivine (Fo88–80) with relatively sodic plagioclase (An75–60) and the Al/Ti ratios of clinopyroxene are atypical of arc gabbros and more characteristic of rift-related gabbros. A Sm-Nd isochron indicates crystallization in the early Tertiary (ca. 50 Ma), coeval with the nearby Golden Horn alkaline granite. Mantle melting to produce Skymo magma likely occurred in a mantle wedge with a long history of arc magmatism. The Skymo mafic complex and the Golden Horn granite were emplaced during regional extension and collapse of the North Cascades orogen and represent the end of large-scale magmatism in the North Cascades continental arc.

Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced and include writer's name, address and phone number. foreword Since the North Cascades National Park was indubi tably the event of this past year, this issue of The Mountaineer attempts to record aspects of that event. Many other magazines and groups have celebrated by now, of course, but hopefully we have managed to avoid total redundancy. Probably there will be few outward signs of the new management in the park this summer. A great deal of thinking and planning is in progress as the Park Serv ice shapes its policies and plans developments. The North Cross-State highway, while accessible by four wheel vehicle, is by no means fully open to the public yet. So, visitors and hikers are unlikely to "see" the changeover to park status right away. But the first articles in this annual reveal both the thinking and work which led to the park, and the think ing which must now be done about how the park is to be used.

Roadless Area Validation
May-June 2009 Liberty Bell Wilderness Evaluation WILDERNESS EVALUATION LIBERTY BELL - 608026 114,671 acres OVERVIEW History The area was originally inventoried as three separate roadless areas totaling approximately 157,900 acres during RARE I. The areas were Driveway Butte (6,900 acres), Liberty Bell (145,400 acres), and Canyon Creek (5,600 acres). The Liberty Bell area included lands on both sides of the North Cascades Highway. The areas were combined during RARE II except for that portion of the Liberty Bell area south of the North Cascades Highway which was included with the Sawtooth Roadless area. The RARE II process did not recommend the area for wilderness designation. The Washington State Wilderness Act of 1984 designated approximately 87,757 acres on both sides of Highway 20 as part of North Cascades Scenic Highway which permits management activities if existing scenic and recreational values are maintained. The 2006 inventory removed approximately 56 acres from previous inventory due to nonconforming uses such as road construction and logging; 6,243 acres were added to the previous inventory as they meet the criteria for a potential wilderness area (PWA) as described in Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 1909.12, Chapter 70. The following chart depicts the 1989 Okanogan National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan direction for the 2006 potential wilderness area.
