Mount Cheminis

[Matt K.]

That is quite the "nipple" you found there. What is the elevation difference from ground level to top? Oh, and by the way, those shades of green in the first shot are maaaaaavelous - from the young new fresh growth with the light green to to old growth in the dark green; just wonnnnerful

Thanks a bunch Matt. You know, I am not sure of elevation diff. Will have to take reading off GPS at bottom and top to check this. I just wish the trail to top was on East side as it is much less vertical.

Nice venture. Love the patterns in the rock.

That little mountain really stands out agaist the rest of the terrain. A quick google search indicates that it rises 500 meters above sea level. Kirkland Lake is 243 meters above sea level. So assuming the bottom is the same as Kirkland Lake, the Mount is 257 Meters high. The side you took the picture from is so steep it looks like you need to be a rock climber to get to the top. Is the other side less steep so you can more or less hike up ?

Looking at pic. the trail would be on the West, (right), side, which goes pretty vertical. There is a very dangerous section for the top one third of the climb that is a sheer drop and a lot of rock climbing.
Well, we are off to try again. Sun is just starting to burn off this wonderful morning mist, and should be a good day temp. wise for a climb.

Way cool, i really dig the 'abstract' quality of shots 3 and 4!

Thank you Marko. There are so many photo-ops just around the base of this it is unreal. There is also a fire tower on the next one to the west.
Actually, friend of ours just on property North of us is scraping his freshly made runway as I type this. Should be cool to get some aerial shots of the area.
