Description Suggest change

Tower Mountain is remote, chossy granite peak north of Washington Pass. It has a few technical routes, including the NE Face (III 5.10, Pete Doorish and Alex Cudkowicz, 1989). The standard route for peak baggers is scrambling the West Gulley (class 3).

Getting There Suggest change

All approaches involve cross country travel. From the south it is accessible via the PCT / Snowy Lakes (from either the Rainey Pass Trailhead or Cutthroat Trailhead). From the west, bushwhack up Swamp Creek.
