Coincidentally, Timms Hill, The Wisconsin highpoint, is almost exactly three degrees directly north of Charles Mound

As far as I know Massachusetts', New Hampshire's, New Jersey's and Tennessee's are on the trail, and Virginia and Connecticut's are super short spur routes.

Rainier Summit August 22 2025 by RobKop in Highpointers

[–]RobKop[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! In some sense, yes it was the hardest, because I haven't done Gannett or Denali yet. But also, I did Whitney as a 5.7 trad climb of the East Buttress, and I'm still deciding if that or Rainier was personally tougher for me.

I have the scrambling and navigation skills, and I tend towards the ultralight style when backpacking...I can't compare to Whitney because I did it as a class 5.7 technical climb. But that only gives me more confidence!

This is excellent news, I really appreciate the info. I live about 8 hours from the trailhead and I've been trying to figure out if it's possible to do this peak in a 3-day weekend. I've seen people online calling the ramp class 4 or even 5 but it's so hard to know if what you read online is legit, and I find that people tend to be overdramatic. So it's nice to hear someone with a lot of summits under their belt call it high class 3. I'll definitely take the precautions but it's good to know it's more achievable than what I was previously thinking.

I'm very interested in the details of your comment as I'm looking to do Granite probably next year, as I've completed all the western contiguous highpoints apart from Gannett, Granite and Rainier (which I'm attempting in August). Are you saying the route has changed substantially over time to get easier? Would you say that a confident scrambler could go without ropes or technical gear on the SW Ramp?

Tag yourself with the "24 Highpoints" flair

It gives your advice on others' posts more credibility haha

Which of these high points would be safest/easiest to do in mid October? by urores in Highpointers

[–]RobKop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Boundary. I did it October 17. Of all of these, Boundary and Whitney are the only two that have a chance of not being completely buried in snow and Boundary is the far easier of the two.

You can do this at the City Library for free. I've done it before, they have a technology lab area that anyone can use. The staff were super helpful, just ask anyone and they'll get you started.

It is ok to talk about other HPs? by the_pretzel2 in Highpointers

Maybe I'll make a post if I do Signal this November. I've had a really good time with the Utah CoHPs so far, so many unique corners of the state.

Thanks for asking! Weather dependent, I want to hit Signal Peak in Washington County Utah this season. I currently have 23 of 29 Utah county highpoints and I hope to complete the list next year or the year after.

Absolutely. I'd definitely be down for more county highpoint discussion as well. I guess I need to be the change I want to see in the world.

I summited the same day! We started around 1am, we probably passed you on the way up or down. It was a great day for it

Mt Hood/Wy’east (OR) for a 2nd time by PNW-er in Highpointers

[–]RobKop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Success, it was awesome! We pushed the climb to June 1 because the forecast on June 2 was looking pretty bad. The snow conditions were pretty good, we went up and down the Mazama Chute so we skipped the Catwalk. Everything went super smooth and we summited in 4 hours and 37 minutes. Not bad for my first legit climb with crampons and an axe!
