Oral history removed from article

Mount Terror is named because of the terror induced in travellers who travel beneath it from Northern Pickets to Southern Pickets. The only route is along wet ledges, the most difficult being a ledge ending in a vertical walled slot. Travellers cannot rope up on this ledge, because of ice chunks that crash down a few times an hour.

Please see "Routes and Rocks in the Mt. Challenger Quadrangle" Published by the Mountaineers for description of route below Mt. Terror -- please note that this description is highly understated. It is also long out of print, but The Mountaineers (Climbing Club in Seattle) will have a copy. Reason for name is from verbal history related to myself by Joan Firey, editor of the Mountaineer, Journal of the Mountaineers in Seattle Washington at the time. See Mountaineers at web page: http://www.mountaineersbooks.org/ The Mountaineers are the organization that maintains climbing history in Seattle and should be able to confirm the reason for the name.

If someone could confirm this with a source that is acceptable to Wikipedia, please reinstate into article. Thanks! hike395 14:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1961 accent by Mike Swayne and Ed Cooper

I removed a bit that said that the 1961 ascent by Mike Swayne and Ed Cooper was the first ascent. According to this article Swayne and Cooper found a summit register in 1961 that recorded three prior ascents. –droll [chat] 05:10, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More first ascent confusion

Terror was not climbed in the 1931. There was some confusion in 1931 about which summit was Mount Terror. Strandberg wrote about climbing the peak in this article but evidently he and Degenhardt changed their minds about it afterward. The peak they climbed in 1931 is now named Mount Degenhardt. This is discussed in Beckey. –droll [chat] 06:17, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
