I found the following information posted by the Tacoma Public Library:
"This isolated peak, with three small glaciers on its northwest slope, is northeast of Indian Pass near crest of the Cascades, between Indian Creek and the White River in northwest Chelan County. It was named by Forest Supervisor A. H. Sylvester, for a fancied resemblance to a plains Indian headdress."
It seems as though most ascent parties go only to the false summit where the register is located. Yesterday I measured the difference with GPS. The east peak is at least 15 feet higher than the west peak. Other parties who have measured the east peak claim it to be 30 to 40 feet higher. This evidence is too strong to be ignored. The register should probably be moved in the future to avoid further confusion.
