Where is that place? It looks a lot like somewhere in the PNW Cascades (OR, WA)?
Nice photos BTW, thanks for posting!

Very nice. Thanks.
That boulder looks a lot like boulders along Newlin Creek here in southern Colorado. I only discovered them after I had quit, but others, including Fred Nicole, have played there. However, a few years before I retired from climbing I would hike up the trail for about a mile to a 50 ft cliff that ran uphill, allowing me to work on a hard rising traverse for about 40 feet where I was never over two feet from the ground!

Found a cabin like that once, a long way from anywhere a cabin should be. But the one I found hadn't yet decayed, and I, knowing it was probably occupied by vampires, kept my distance.
Say hi to Don for me when next you see him.

I will be happy to let Don know you said hi next time I see him, Dave. He lights up when he starts talking about things he has done and places he has been, and the people he has met along the way.
There is one opinion that the cabin remains shown above are from one of the Munday cabins, shown below back in the 20s. Their name comes up in connection with two cabins; one on Grouse where they were caretakers, and another which Don Munday built . That cabin may have had other occupants, later. There were Melmac dinner plates dated 1953 (but made in Canada!).
A gentleman named Athol Agur had a cabin further out behind Grouse. He was killed in an avalanche maybe in '28 or '29.
There are others out there, now. Today I visited a friend living in a place he built out in the woods. When I first heard about him I took him for a hermit, but he tells me he is actually a Bohemian and would be living in Paris if he had the money.
Lembert Dome is always in the running.

My first thought was of the Cascades, too. I love the eerie, misty woods.

That arete is a lot bigger than the Donut Bluff one on Black Mtn, that's for sure. I guess it's on the verboten side though?

Yes. It's on the north side.
I was surprised to discover a trail going down the main ridge, too, and another trail on the back side.

I dug through my photos and found a couple showing the mystery cabin I found a few years ago. It sits just a bit back from the lip of a ridge that terminates abruptly in a 500 ft wall. No easy way to get to it, and no reason that I can think of for it to be there. Unless it's a vampire nest.
The cabin was maybe 25 meters back from the edge. Here's what is directly below...
Now, it may not have been a vampire nest, but it did give off an odd vibe. I wanted to check it out, but didn't have much time, as it had taken me longer to get up there than I expected, and there was a lot of rock to be scoped out below. So I promised myself I'd come back and check it out on another trip.
Mari and I and a couple of our friends wound up spending a lot of time on that wall, but I never did get back to the cabin.
Maybe in a couple of weeks (if the weather clears) or next spring.

Interesting -- but, for me, virtually clueless.
Thanks for stoking my curiosity.
