Description Suggest change

60km down Kusawa Lake lies Arc Moutain, which sports an awe-inspiring granite face. Get up there!

Substantial loose rock and natural rockfall on the face.

Early development done by some Germans (Mossy Pads, The King, Kusawa Stairs; correct me if I have this wrong).

One amazing line goes up the ridge to the tippy top.

Also known as "Äthèkal" in Southern Tutchone, meaning 'Flat-Top Mountain'

Getting There Suggest change

Boat or Plane. Or bushwack 60k with tons of gear.
