The story
Gothic Peak is a 6,213-foot (1,894-metre) multi-peak mountain summit located near the western edge of the North Cascades Range, in Snohomish County of Washington state. It is located south of Barlow Pass along the Mountain Loop Highway near the Monte Cristo area. It is situated on land administered by the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The mountain was named for early prospector William Gothic, who was one of the first to stake a claim in Gothic Basin. The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1967. The nearest higher peak is Del Campo Peak, 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to the northeast, and Foggy Pass is the low point between the two peaks. Foggy Lake lies in Gothic Basin below the east face of Gothic Peak and collects precipitation runoff which ultimately drains to South Fork Sauk River via Weden Creek. Runoff from the west side of the mountain drains into the Sultan River. The first ascent of the mountain was made on June 10, 1934, by Don Blair, Willard Carr, Norval Grigg, and Art Winder. In terms of catching favorable weather, the best months for climbing are July through September.
