Product Description
What makes some mountaineers eschew the headline peaks and instead head into little-traveled rugged landscapes, suffer through days of bushwhacking, hard-to-find trails, bad weather, and difficult rock climbs, all to bag a mere 8000' peak that few have ever heard of? We here at TinyMtn headquarters near Boston frankly have no idea. You people are crazy. But these brave souls (you?!?) keep going back, and they go to places like the Picket Range in Washington.
The Picket Range is the most rugged set of peaks in the already-rugged North Cascades National Park in Northwest Washington. Picket's backwoods feel, lack of major trails, spectacular scenery, and steep pinnacles make it a near-private nirvana for whomever has the grit to go there to witness its miracles in person. First mapped in the 1920s, most of the highest peaks in the range were not summited until the 1930s. Since then, the Pickets has been a haven for lovers of remote, backcountry rock climbing. The photos they bring back are a rare treat for armchair alpinists like, well, me.

TinyMtn models are most affordable in the "Sandstone" and "White Natural Versatile Plastic" materials. This model is in "Sandstone," which is a glued gypsum material. When you receive the model it will be ready for display, though it may smell funny and need some time to air out. "Sandstone" models are much more brittle than "Versatile Plastic" models, but feel more like light stone. Do not soak it in water, though you can safely seal it with Polycrylic or a similar water-based clear spray sealant. Read more about this popular material here.
All TinyMtn models have hollow bottoms - this is to save on weight, and thus cost. Many larger models also have extra flanges on their undersides to increase rigidity and strength. To make the model more solid, you should feel free to carefully pour resin into the bottom cavity, or glue a properly-sized slab of wood or another material into it.
These models have been optimized for the above materials, and are not offered in other materials for strength or cost reasons. If you need one in another material, please tinymtnbiz@gmail.com and we'll do our best to fulfill your request.
