Pass Hunter plans to woo Mary

Some call her Chintimini, some call her Timanwa, but she's Mary to me.

Tomorrow will be the first summit attempt, I'll take the Tsakanikas with compact double and 8sp rear end. 34X32 will have to do.

here's an excerpt from the Suislaw Forest link:

"Mary's Peak, at 4,097 feet, is the highest point in Oregon’s Coast Range and the most prominent peak viewed westward from Corvallis. On a clear day one can see both the Pacific Ocean to the west and many of the Cascade peaks to the east across the Willamette Valley. There are also several areas of historical, botanical and geological interest."

here's the unavoidable wikipedia link, many good links on this page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marys_Peak

here are some of the other peaks in the Coast range, I'm not sure how many of them are ridable.
