looks mostly like eroded volcanic core with a shitload of Scree Talus .
Maybe try ground launch first, before doing a free fall .

is this a pic from the side u hike and scramble up from...i think u skirt the base of the rock on the talus and scramble to the summit on the right side of the pic, but the far side of this eroded volcano is much much steeper and i would bet jumpable....so know one knows if this has been jumped before??

I think you should worry less about finding out if anyone on basewanking dot com has ever heard about it being jumped and just go (or continue to go) do savage things in space next to this thing. I think it looks pretty dope, myself, at least from the other side, and if you want to go up there, do it. Bask in the glory of the jump and don't worry too much about who did it first. There's a pretty good chance that anything in the US that isn't super remote (it's not) and gets fairly regular climbing traffic (it does) has had some weirdo fall off it with a parachute. I've met people who thought they had opened something that I personally knew had been jumped previously. Don't let that take away from how cool that mountain looks. It's not like you're turning laps in the LB tal or multi-sessioning a local power tower.

did the same thing on the WA side of the columbia at tabletop .......after talking to a few people i just hiked it, took a few hours to do so and i ended up doing the whole bag of flour drop thing, scoped out 2 exits. turned out it was a bit positive where i wanted to exit and landing was pretty hairy. now if someone built a launch ramp at the VERY top of said object (i was on the western side), that would be one GNARLY jump.........
ill bet you dwain or slim jumped it back in the day........
