::The terrain is just too extreme for roads. As I looked up the various peaks for information on trails I found routes listed for many of them, but listed as technical climbs, with numeric ratings for mountain climbers. Mount Jimmy Jimmy, tomorrow's destination, appears to host a glacier, too. Invite me, please when you spot a good one for Mabel Lake. -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 19:32, 4 April 2009 (UTC) | ::The terrain is just too extreme for roads.

Hahah! This is brilliant! It also makes me wish I had more free time... they seem so accessible now... Thepiguy 17:36, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Don't they just? Of course this doesn't allow time for getting a kayak. I have five kayak rental/retail windows open right now. If I can buy one for $400 I'm going to go for it. I can't handle lying every time I rent one. And hey, by the end of the season I'll have experience. Then it will be mountain climbing equipment I need. - Robyn
- Unlike other metropolitan graticules, about half of this one is undeveloped mountain ranges (often extreme and high-altitude), and about a quarter is ocean. I'm surprised how few forest service roads appear in your area. My own "mountain" graticule looks flat and inlaid with roads by comparison.
- I'm a lot more interested in my neighbouring graticule Mabel Lake, which contains ranges similar to yours. I'm trying to get prepared enough to do a two-day hike there this summer.Juventas 19:28, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
