Mission Peak looks like the perfect peak for the "Catch 22" character, Dunbar, http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/catch22/characters.html.

Here is the answer to their problem. The only drawback is the structure may have to be higher than the peak they are climbing.
No problem however as they can just install a taller climbing pole at the top of the peak. :scared: :sl:

Some day too many people will climb on that pole ... :roll:

It will topple over ... :stretch:

Then the lawsuits will begin ... :M2C:

That place is a mess. No way I'm going back unless I hike from a trail head on the other side. I can certainly see why the locals are pissed.
