Warrior Peak

Warrior Peak is a mountain in Olympic National Park with two distinct summits located close to each other. The southeast summit reaches approximately 2230 meters while the northwest summit stands somewhat lower, creating a notable twin-peak formation.

The first ascent of Warrior Peak occurred in 1945 when a climber reached both summits solo and gave the mountain its name. This ascent marked an important moment in the exploration of the technically demanding peaks of the Olympic Mountains.

The mountain serves as a primary destination for technical climbers seeking advanced routes through the Olympic Mountains range in Washington state.

Reaching this peak involves hiking the Upper Dungeness Trail with significant elevation gain to Boulder Camp. Those attempting this route should expect challenging terrain and plan to arrive early to complete the hike before nightfall.

The mountain formation consists of rock composed from a blend of clastic material that originated on the ocean floor. This unusual geological origin makes the peak an intriguing study for geology enthusiasts.
