Sloan Peak, Mountain summit in Snohomish County, Washington, US

Sloan Peak rises 7,835 feet above sea level in the North Cascades region, within Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest between the north and south forks of Sauk River.

Harry Bedal and Nels Skaar completed the first recorded ascent of Sloan Peak on July 30, 1921, establishing the Corkscrew Route to the summit.

The mountain received the designation 'Matterhorn of the Cascades' due to its sharp profile, rising more than one vertical mile above the valley floor.

The standard climbing route requires navigating through Sloan Glacier and involves an elevation gain of 5,935 feet with both glacier climbing and rock scrambling sections.

The mountain's geological formation resulted from tectonic activities between the North American Plate and smaller terranes, creating its distinct U-shaped valley structure.
