Trapper's Peak Scramble Summit
About this event
Trappers Peak Scramble Summit
Unrated: Mostly Class 2 with a few Class 3 moves
Elevation Gain: 3300 ft. Miles: 10.6 Elevation: 5966 ft.
Trappers Peak is located in North Cascades National Park and is reached via the Thornton Lakes Trail. The top has big pay off with sweeping views of the Picket Range, Mt.Triumph, Thornton Lakes, the Skagit River, farmlands and the town of Newhalem. A short traverse over to X Mountain may be added, descending steep heather/rock to a saddle and taking an airy ridge walk to the summit. X Mountain is named for the six foot quartz veins forming an X on the summit block. This is a great introduction to the North Cascades for climb school 2025 grads. A second scramble for Sunday will be added TBD. Prospectus will be coming.
If the route is not snowfree, by the climb date, this scramble will be rescheduled to a later date.
