Talk:Skihist Mountain

Watercourses draining the mountain's slopes
I have basically re-done the second paragraph, which has all the info about the creeks that run off the mountain. While some of the info on there was trivial, questionable, or misleading, some of it is just flat out wrong. For example, it said that its southern and southeastern slopes are drained by North Kwoiek Creek or Kwoiek Creek. Well, the part about Kwoiek Creek draining the south slopes is just wrong; Kwoiek Creek is well separated from any of Skihisk's slopes by both Nesbitt Creek and the ridge between Doss Peak and Antimony Peak, so I'm glad to fix that. Also, in case you're wondering why I said that Nesbitt drains its south slopes (in addition to the west slopes), it is because Nesbitt's headwaters are actually located directly below and due south of Skihist's summit (just a 2500 foot giant rockslide away, which serves as a great access route for anyone who doesn't like ridgewalking, which many chose to do when they climb Skihist). It then makes a 180 degree turn, running alongside the west base of the mountain as well, effectively draining both the south and west.

Anyway, just wanted to point out my reasoning for making the big changes that I did. :)

And for the record, I'm looking forward to climbing Skihist sometime (maybe even next summer). It's not technical climbing or anything, at least from where I plan on climbing it from, but it does involve some bushwacking and, put lightly, a questionable crossing of Kwoiek Creek between Kha and Klept Lake.
