Azurite Peak - North Cascades, WA - Mountain Summits on Waymarking.com

The following is from Summitpost.com : "Azurite Peak is a member of the Washington Top 100, ranking approximately 76th. Further, with 1880P, it almost makes the 2,000-ft prominence list. The mountain is the highpoint of the mess of ridges north of Golden Horn and Tower Mountain. On the long, high ridge trending north from the summit is another "Big Boy" of Washington--Mt. Ballard (est. 8,340 ft). Azurite is characterized by a complex set of ribs and gullies on the West Face and more of the same on the East, although the East Face contains more in the way of even steeper gullies and sustained walls. Climbing history of these walls is uncertain. An ice remnant occupies a narrow cirque below the East Face. The easiest flank is the South Ridge but this is only for the lower part up from Azurite Pass. The closer one gets to the peak the more haphazard the ridge gets, not to mention there is a obstructing lower south summit. Climbs generally finish in the gullies immediately southwest of the summit tower. There is a north summit that is slightly lower than the main summit. Apparently, a tedious traverse can be made up and over it to get to the long ridge leading out to Mt. Ballard. The north summit does possess one novelty: it is a "triple boundary point" for Skagit, Whatcom, and Okanogan counties.
