The second ascent of the north face of the North Peak of Mount Index occurred in 1940 by Dr. Otto Titus Trott (1911-1999) of Seattle, and Erick Larson of Everett (it was earlier reported as 1939).
The photograph was shot looking toward the main summit ridge of Mount Index — but at the right edge of the picture there was a portion of a nearby peak, higher than the point from which the photograph was taken.
The north face of the North Peak of Mount Index was the first Grade III climb in the North Cascades — indeed, one of the most difficult rock climbs achieved anywhere in North America at that time.

 Constance First Ascent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
WHILE the first ascent of Mount Constance was made on June 26, 1922, by Robert Schellin and myself, it seems to me that mention should be made of a trip made a month earlier by Thomas J. Acheson and myself.
Acheson and I went in from the Docewallips river, and on the second day of our trip reached a point on the headwaters of the Quilcene river, about two and a half miles in an air-line from the summit of the mountain.
The view was spoiled somewhat by smoke, but about 4,000 feet of Mount Rainier showed at all times, and occasionally Mount Baker and Glacier Peak were above the clouds, and Mount Olympus and other Olympic peaks were always in view.

HOODSPORT -- As you stand atop the airy rock promontory of Mount Ellinor nearly 6,000 feet above nearby Hood Canal, it's hard not to be staggered by the wilderness surrounding you.
Look north and west into the heart of Olympic National Park, and an incredible array of jagged peaks scratch the sky: Mount Olympus, Mount Cruiser, Mount Skokomish, Mount Washington, Mount Constance, the Brothers and a hundred or more lesser ones.
