Facts and practical information

Mount Torment is a 8,120+ -foot high peak in the North Cascades of Washington in the United States. It is located approximately 65 miles northeast of the city of Everett. First ascended on August 23, 1946, its name originates from the first ascent party, because of "the torture of a hot day with only one orange for quenching thirst." Since then, Mount Torment has gained popularity because of the Torment-Forbidden Traverse to neighboring Forbidden Peak, an exposed alpine route. ()
