Outstanding scramble and mini climb at the end. Amazing views of the North Cascades and on to Canada. The last heave to the summit block is a little spicy. We opted to rappel off the block rather than down climb.

SummitPost.com "Golden Horn is listed under the Washington Top 100 and is located in the Okanogan National Forest in the eastern North Cascades just north of Rainy and Washington Pass. As evident from its name the peak's rock has a striking color as well as beautiful golden larches during the fall. This mountain offers great views of the Pasayten Wilderness, the surrounding Washington Pass area and to the south the Glacier Peak Wilderness. Golden Horn is a relatively easy climb but with a lot of approach miles and a few low 5th class moves at the end. Most do this peak in two days although if your speedy you can do it in one. Tower Mountain is located just south of Golden Horn and can be climbed in the same trip."
