- Baring Mountain (summitpost.org)
Baring Mountain is one of the highest peaks in the Wild Sky Wilderness, but more notably, it is the 3rd steepest peak in Washington State. This is extremely significant considering that Washington has a reputation for rugged peaks with plenty of difficult climbing. The profile of Baring Mountain is highly recognizable from the west with it’s double summit and sheer north face. The standard route makes use of a long northwest ridge. The south peak, which is 115 feet lower, is rarely climbed. The first ascent of the main peak was made by Albert H. Sylvester and John Charlton, July 28, 1897.
