Great hiking objective. People BASE jump off the taller peak.

It is an awesome hike, though quite strenuous with 3,500 feet of gain in 3.5 miles. It’s the 3rd steepest mountain in WA. There are also climbing routes along the north face. Unfortunately the whole area will be closed until at least the beginning of 2024, due to the Bolt Creek fire. While people do base jump from the summit, it is illegal to do so. There have been accidents and several deaths.

Where are you finding figures on steepest mountains?

I remembered reading it while researching the route before hiking it.
A quick google search pulled up summitpost.org’s list.
