Description

At 9,199 feet, Goode is the tallest peak in the North Cascades and the eighth tallest peak in Washington State. Reached by crossing the Goode Glacier, the Northeast Buttress is a classic climbing route that features over 2,000 feet of mostly 3rd and 4th class climbing, with some 5th class mixed in. Most mountaineering parties complete the route in 2-3 days (the summit makes for a very nice bivy).
