Wilmans Peaks
Wilmans Peaks is a mountain summit, in Snohomish County of Washington state. Description The Wilmans Peaks are located in the North Cascades, six miles southeast of Barlow Pass on the Mountain Loop Highway, and immediately southeast above the historic Monte Cristo area. The mountain is situated within the Henry M. Jackson Wilderness, on land managed by the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Wilmans Peaks has two main peaks and three associated spires. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over above Monte Cristo in one mile. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the South Fork Sauk River. History This landform was originally named Wilmon Peak in 1918, but the toponym was officially revised in 1973 to its present spelling. It was named for John McDonald Wilmans (1858–1916), a Californian who owned one-third interest in the mining claims of the Monte Cristo area around 1890. He also managed and owned controlling interest in the railroad that was built to serve Monte Cristo. The first ascent of the summit was made September 12, 1970, by Dallas Kloke via the northwest ridge and the lower peak was climbed in 1934 by Art Winder and Ben Spellar. Climate Wilmans Peaks is
