It is about {{convert|18|mi|km|0}} south of Darrington and {{convert|21|mi}} east of Granite Falls, in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Its gentle south and east slopes contrast with a sheer north face which offers "excellent technical routes".[3] GeologyThe peak is primarily composed of intrusive quartz diorite, but the south and southwest slopes are metavolcanic rock.[3] Grossular garnet occurs in skarn zones on the peak, which have been mined for this mineral.[4] Climbing and recreationThe peak was ascended in 1918 during a Mountaineers outing, but "they were likely preceded by prospectors and a geological survey party led by Louis C. Fletcher".[3] The steep north face was first climbed in 1968 by Bruce Garrett and Jim Langdon; several routes exist on the face, with difficulties in the 5.6 to 5.8 range.[3] The summit can be reached from the Sunrise Mine Road (No. 4065), off the Mountain Loop Highway.[5] The hike is a {{convert|10|mi|0|adj=on}} round trip with an elevation gain of {{convert|4114|ft}}.[6] The summit affords views of Glacier Peak, Sloan Peak, Mount Dickerman, Mount Pugh, Mount Rainier, Mount Stuart and a bit of the top of Mount Adams.
