Mt. Olympus Bench Mark Medallion
Celebrate the grandeur of Mount Olympus with this exquisite benchmark medallion. Measuring 3 ¼ inches in diameter, this medallion is a perfect gift for climbers, hikers, or adventurers who have braved the challenges of this majestic peak. Cast in fine pewter with a felt backing, it is both durable and elegant. Each medallion is etched with the mountain's name and elevation—7980 feet—serving as a lasting memento of your adventure. The medallion comes in a soft fleece pouch and is beautifully packaged in a clear vinyl box.
Mount Olympus, the tallest peak in Olympic National Park, stands out not only for its height but also for its dramatic landscapes. The mountain is enveloped by seven glaciers, with the Blue Glacier receiving up to 500 inches of snow annually. This significant snowfall is due to the mountain's location on the Olympic Peninsula, one of the wettest places in the world.
Unique Glacial Features: The Blue Glacier on Mount Olympus is renowned for its striking blue ice, a result of the high pressure compressing the ice and removing air bubbles, which gives it a distinctive color.
Remote Wilderness: Climbing Mount Olympus requires a multi-day trek through dense rainforests and rugged terrain, offering a true wilderness experience that is far removed from more accessible peaks.
Historical Significance: The first recorded ascent of Mount Olympus was in 1921 by a group led by famed mountaineer, H. E. E. Wilson, who was also a notable explorer of the Pacific Northwest.
This Mt. Olympus Bench Mark Medallion is not just a commemorative piece, but a tribute to one of the most challenging and rewarding climbs in the Pacific Northwest.
