West Peak, Summit in Olympic National Park, Washington.
West Peak stands at 2,245 meters in elevation within the Olympic Mountains, forming the central point of the Anderson Massif in Jefferson County.
The first recorded climb of West Peak occurred in 1930 by E.B. Hamilton, marking the beginning of documented mountaineering on this summit.
West Peak received its name in recognition of Mr. West, a participant in the 1890 O'Neil Expedition, rather than its geographical position.
Access to West Peak requires careful preparation for varying weather conditions, with July through September offering the most favorable climbing conditions.
West Peak serves as the hydrographic apex of Olympic Mountains, directing water flow to the Pacific Ocean, Strait of Juan de Fuca, and Hood Canal.
