Bruce's photo is from the Spearhead Range. Even better, without gondolas and such.
Pretty loose description there Anders.....

Reilly wants coastal porn. Hmmm....
Here's a good start:
And with that out of the way, how about:
Or:
(And yes, I know, I've posted these before. But that was in a story about underwear and disease, and I think maybe they belong here, too.)

Here's one. 1000m +
J.C. himself strolled past this in the early nineties.
He promptly alerted the rock climbers w/ photos and everything.
"Red alert" is what I believe he said.

At last Tricouni posts up something promising - that is a pretty nice looking wall. Pretty low elevation however. Greg is right to be skeptical. It looks a lot like Stienbok and we all know how the crack systems go on that thing. As Brad White put it: "Its thicker than a Nuns pelt up here!"
Well, I'll just point out that Squamish is at a pretty low elevation, too, a lot lower than Steinbok.

I think there's some big granite on the north side of Toba inlet. I'd have to go digging through the archives, but I remember some shots JC took up there that showed a lot of rock.

My Uncle in law sailed up to Glacier bay in August with instructions from me to the photograph cliffs. This is on the panhandle somewhere,was previously posted.

Actually, maybe it's the NW face of Bell, now that I look at it again?

Glenn, I'm not saying it can't happen, just that its way more likely to find moss and cedars and the lower you get the more likely you find them. Stienbok and Rexford are good examples of how high that shrubbery can go.
Bruce, I hear you. I think that wall will be shrubby, particularly seeing as it's in the Prince Rupert region (rainfall and drizzle capital of BC).
Hey Glenn is that snowy pic Ambition or that general area?
No, but it has enough snow. It's actually Mt Bell, NW Waddington area, from the NE. The north ridge is on the left; the west "ridge" (Culbert-Ellis) is on the right.

Bruce the pic above is Salient and it isn't too tantalizing. Glenn can probably comment better than I can but the lowest rocks are granite and then the upper 600m is Gambier Group volcanics, according to the online geology map anyway.
John and Blake climbed up the buttress just right of the N face couloir after deciding the west face proper was not very appealing, it says in the CAJ

You know, I was going to say Bell when I first saw Tricouni's
photo but thought no it's some obscure peak that only Drew would know.Have any of you climbed it?

Knowing those guys up at the end of some fresh logging road no doubt
Needle Peak wasn't at the end of any fresh logging road. We got a pretty good look at the approach John and Blace used en route to Needle Peak when we flew into Mt. Sir Frances Drake. Had to be one of the ugliest sights in the Coast Range.
