Big 4 Mountain, minor peak, 6500 ft m/l, off a 2,000 ft base where the pic is at, in Washington state's central Cascade range, near the Monte Cristo group and the Glacier Peak wilderness. About an 80 mile ride from downtown Seattle.

I think big wall seige climbing is in a league of its own. the aerobic rigors of wilderness mountaineering is a bit closer to bicycling than big wallin' it. Although many participants of both big wall climbs and bike touring have a tendency to pack a lot of comfort items, maybe thats one of the parallels...
