Climbing Mt. Index

[Jim Dockery]

Mt. Index is one of the easiest access dramatic peaks in the Cascade mountains of Washington, sitting right next to Hwy 2 not far from Seattle. It's north peak is also one of the hardest to reach, with no easy way up (or down). In the summer it presents an interesting mix of hard to protect moderate rock climbing , funky tree climbing, and exposed scrambling - quintessential Cascade climbing.

North Face of Mt. Index in Winter. Our summer climb went just right of the sunlit area on the right hand peak.
