Low-relief rocky meadows and modest forested ridges marked by scattered cinder cones and shields are common landforms in Simcoe Mountains volcanic field. Mount Adams (elevation: 12,276 ft; 3,742 m) is centered 50 km west and 2.8 km higher than foreground meadow (elevation: 2,950 ft.; 900 m); its eruptions began ~520 ka, its upper cone was built in late Pleistocene, and several eruptions have taken place in the Holocene.

  • The Seattle Times, Seattle, King Co
    The Seattle Times, Seattle, King Co. WA, 4 Apr 1989 LEGENDARY MOUNTAINEER DIES AT 81 SEATTLEITE 'OME' DAIBER INSPIRED - AND SAVED - MANY A CLIMBER Author: DON DUNCAN For nearly 40 years, the cry ''Call 'Ome' DAIBER'' rang out whenever a mountain climber or hiker was lost or injured in the Cascade or Olympic mountains. Daiber invariably responded in the only way he knew: He would drop the carpenter tools with which he earned a living, push away a half-eaten meal or climb out of bed in the dead of night to assemble gear in the Bothell-area home he stocked like an Alpine hut. Daiber, a mountaineering legend, died Sunday in a local nursing home at the age of 81. At the end, the man who always said he expected to live to 100 had lost his eyesight, both legs and his ability to speak. But every mountain-rescue unit that goes out in answer to a call for help is carrying on the tradition he began. Built like an Alpine fir - short (5 feet 6 inches), weathered and resilient - Daiber could scramble around on snow and ice for hours, then hold a news conference to let the public know what had happened up on the mountain. For years, virtually every major mountain-rescue story in the Northwest began or ended with the words, ''A party led by Ome DAIBER . .'' In 1948, DAIBER co-founded the Mountain Rescue Council with Dr. Otto Trott and Wolf Bauer. The Seattle-based Mountain Rescue Council became a model for similar councils all over North America.
