Mount Terror

Mount Terror is a mountain summit in North Cascades National Park, characterized by steep rock faces and a distinctive triangular peak shape. The mountain rises within the Picket Range, a dramatic cluster of peaks known for rugged terrain.

The mountain was first summited in 1932 by William Degenhardt and Herbert Strandberg of the Seattle Mountaineers. This early ascent established the peak as a destination for climbers in the region.

The mountain serves as a testing ground for climbing expertise, attracting mountaineers who seek to master its traditional and sport climbing routes.

Climbers can approach the mountain via trails starting from Goodell Creek or Big Beaver Creek, though these routes demand advanced navigation and climbing skills. Visitors should be well-equipped and experienced before attempting the steep terrain.

The peak rises roughly 600 meters above surrounding ridges and offers multiple climbing routes with varying difficulty levels. This range of options makes it a popular training ground for climbers seeking to develop different technical abilities.
