The Ptarmigan Traverse peaks are those arrayed along the part of the Crest of Washington's North Cascades from Cascade Pass, south to Dome Peak. The Ptarmigan Traverse (or “PT”) is a week-long, off-trail high route weaving between those glaciated peaks. There's a separate Mountain Page for the trek itself, with five Route pages for the stages of the trip. Check there for details and photos of the trip.

The table below lists the major, named peaks of the Ptarmigan. Only a few of them have SP pages so far. The route pages for the stages of the traverse list about an equal number of minor summits that are named in the guidebooks, but not on the map.

The original Ptarmigan party climbed Buckner, Sahale, and Johannesberg at the N end of the traverse. Dome is usually considered the S end of the PT, but Sinister and Gunsight are so tempting and so remote from any other approach, they're often climbed as part of a Ptarmigan trip.
