When Fred Beckey and Ed Cooper climbed the Northwest Face on Forbidden Peak in 1959, they had to have known it was a classic route.  It had all the features mountaineers look for in a North Cascades alpine climb: an arduous and long approach, tricky navigation over crevasse-laden glaciers, and steep exposed climbing to a sharp pointed summit.  Since that time, the Northwest Face of Forbidden Peak has become an ultra-classic mountaineering route, and is still regarded as a challenging climb for modern adventurers.Written and produced by  Evan PhillipsMusic curated using Artlist:Then There Was You - Beneath The MountainMy Home - Louis IslandGrowth - Kyle PrestonOpen Water - Alex MunkA Ghost In Someones Body - Ben ReenerLight Storm - Taxi Letter WritersHorizon - Dear GravitySUBSCRIBE to The Firn Line on YouTube!Support The Firn LinePATREON • MERCH • MUSIC • DONATESponsors:The Hoarding MarmotAlaska Rock Gym
