Shield volcano?

This does not look like a shield volcano! Are you sure it is one? --89.51.83.122 17:09, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes. That's what a shield volcano looks like after over 100,000 years of glacial erosion has worn away the flanks almost completely, carving huge cirques on all sides and leaving only the hardened volcanic plug in the central conduit. --Seattle Skier (talk) 23:01, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you! Didn't expect an answer anymore! --89.51.93.189 11:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Climbing route

I removed the paragraph that provided climbing insturctions. I don't think Wikipedia should should try to be this authoritative. A reader would be foolish to rely on this source of technical climbing information. I think it would be fine to include the difficulty of the easiest route in the infobox. --DRoll (talk) 20:07, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Elevation

FYI, I know from experience that the GNIS usually underestimates elevation, so I went with the elevation of 7,795 feet (2,376 m) given by Wood & Kienle (1990) and Hildreth (2007). As another good resource, here is a Forest Service map that places the elevation only a foot lower. Jsayre64 (talk) 04:42, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
