Here's a photo of Tsaydaychuz from the west, to complement Opo's from the east. For a peak that barely scrapes 9000 feet (2758 metres), this is a big mountain.

There are a few of those, aren't there?

Reilly: Thanks. I believe it's a Dash 8. A regular flight commuting from Vancouver to Terrace.

Good additions to a good thread.
For comic relief, here is one of 2 good-looking crags a 15 minute walk from a paved road.
I wonder if Oplopanax recognizes it.

That looks a lot like a crag near Hope.

FWIW, this is shaping up to be a big year in Coast Mts climbing too, with two new big wall routes in the Daniels River from the Powell River crew, the FA of the West Pillar of Monarch by Richardson and partner, and a bunch of stuff in the Klite/Headwall area done in July too. All of this despite Hwy 20 being closed for almost a month!

Chris Kalman and partners were in there for two or three weeks in July. Not sure yet what they climbed but he emailed me before for beta and afterwards to say they'd had a successful trip and climbed a bunch of stuff. I'm keen to find out details too!

What a range, eh? Never stepped foot in any of the environs but sure does look pretty from the air. Here's some more photos:

Of course, "the Klite/Headwall area" won't mean anything to 99.9% of supertopians, but, in case any of you were wondering, here's a google earth clue:
Looking forward to hearing the stories.

Hard to imagine he's been gone from us for 14 years now.
But his spirit lives on...

I would not say your are guessing wrong Tami. I am just a kid from the coast continuing to follow the contours up and down. Not sure where my mortal coil will land in the long run, but beneath a big perma-dry boulder hidden away in the coast sounds proper. Also Tami, or one of you many other coast range legends, can you call up Peter and tell him... "Red Alert...Red Alert..." the young Canadians are getting after it in the DRV, John said 3500ft, they're actually 5500!!! Assistance welcomed (wanted) [Needed], red alert, red alert!!!
Best,
Evan

Evan -- are you from Powell River?
I ask because we'll be moving there next year.

Powell River is home base as of now. I am sipping a cup o joe with the infamous Rob Richards as we speak. He sends his regards to you Tami. The torch is a strong one, we will try our best to keep it blazin'. Trip reports will come in abundance soon. Teasers for now.
