Voted 10/10 | Amazing mountains. Who would think that the Grenediers, which are probably not as long as the Tetons, would be part of such a long fault block? | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks for the vote. The Grenadiers is a cool range. My favorite in Colorado. I guess I'll find out about the Tetons at the end of the month when I go climb Moran. I've never been to the Tetons. Another Grenadier Peak coming soon. | |

Voted 10/10 | This area has already been added to my growing list of places I want to see. Any idea where the name "Storm King" came from, or who named it? I really love that name. There was a small mountain in NY near where I went to college with the same name. Definitely one of the coolest names for a mountain. | |

Hasn't voted | No books I have seen give any explanation, but it is probably related to the weather in the area. Mt. Eolus (14er close by) is named after the Greek god of winds because of the violent storms that can erupt rapidly in the area. I would imagine Storm King was named along those lines. | |

Voted 10/10 | A nice looking mountain. "Storm King" is an oft-used toponym. There are four such names for peaks in WA and they're all different sorts of peaks. High, low, forested, alpine, east of Pacific Crest, west of Pacific Crest. | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks for the vote. I think this peak was named after the weather that so frequents these mountains. It's 14,000 ft. neighbor is named Eolus after the Greek god of the winds. | |
