Many call Abernathy peak the easiest of the Bulger Peaks. That does not make it an easy climb. Especially during a heat wave like when I decided to take it on.

The approach to Argonaut peak is a bit of a Brush Bash. But it is the last 200-300ft that will challenge most climbers.

While they may not be some of the hardest in Washington’s top 100, Big Craggy and West Craggy are a challenging one day adventure.

Come to Black Peak for the 17th tallest peak in Washington. Prepare for the final ridge walk, its a doozy.

Cannon Mountain is one of the least interesting of the Bulgers. Simple climb, excellent view

Saska, Cardinal and Emerald are a lot of fun, but they are not easy to access. Expect a lot of work with a huge payoff.

A long hike and scramble to attain the summit of a Washington’s Mount Cashmere If you can get the permits, make it two days. One is tough.

Colchuck Peak and Dragontail Peak sit next to each other. Climbing them in one day makes an epic double summit.

The climb of Katsuk and Mesachie requires a walk down ragged ridge. I would not walk the ridge unless I wanted to climb these peaks

McClellan Peak and Little Annapurna are the best of type 2 fun. Two beautiful summits in one day, round trip on Aasgard pass

Mount Stuart’s Cascadian couloir was not my first choice for climbing the peak. But it turned out to be a worthwhile endevour

North Gardner and Gardner mountain are appealing since they sit in the top 50 Bulger peaks. But the approach is long and the scrambling short

The West Fork Buttermilk “trail” is a challenge in itself. The climb of Star, Courtney, and Oval peaks is the only reason to use it.

I would suggest taking more than one day…

Taking on tower and golden horn in one day was an incredible challenge. Unless you love type 2 fun, make it two days
