The story
Warrior Peak is a 7,320+ ft (2,230+ m) double summit mountain located in Olympic National Park and Jefferson County of Washington state. Warrior is the 11th-highest peak in the Olympic Mountains. The southeast summit is the slightly higher of the two summits, the northwest peak is estimated at 7,285 feet elevation. Precipitation runoff from the west side of the mountain drains into Home Creek, a tributary of the Dungeness River, whereas the east side drains into Tunnel Creek which is a tributary of the Big Quilcene River. Warrior Peak is easy to identify from Seattle, since it appears as the first prominent peak immediately north of Mount Constance, which is the dominant peak on the skyline. Warrior's nearest higher peak is Mount Constance, 0.8 mi (1.3 km) to the south-southeast. The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1945 by Fred Beckey, who solo climbed both summits, and named the mountain.
