Steepness As A Peakbagging Category
This SummitPost page has been created with much thanks and appreciation to Tim Worth, who compiled much of the information used on this page and from whom permission was granted for that information to be posted here.In the mountaineering community, there are lists created for different peakbagging categories. Lists have been created for such peakbagging goals as state and county highpoints, prominence, and isolation. Peak steepness also has its own peakbagging list, although unlike other peakbagging lists a peak steepness list at first glance might seem more appealing to rock climbers than general mountaineers. However, many of the mountains on the Washington Top 100 Steepest Peaks list can be summited without any rope or protection. This list contains a plethora of mountaineering technical difficulty, ranging from steep hikes and scrambles to steep roped climbs.
When considering the steepest peaks within a given region, some people might initially envision tower-shaped mountains or high pinnacles. However, such aspects are not typical of many peaks that have high degrees of steepness. Similarly, when considering steepest peaks within a given region, some people might initially envision the necessity of roped vertical or near-vertical rock climbs to reach the summits. However, that, too, is not true of many steep peaks. The overall steepness of a mountain is dependent upon all sides of the peak, not just one or two sides with vertical or near-vertical rock faces.
By definition, the steepness of a mountain is determined by measuring the average of slope angles in every downward direction over a fixed distance from the mountain summit. Different people and resources might use different fixed distances to determine the steepness of a peak. One of the most valuable and credible resources is the National Elevation Dataset (NED) related website created and maintained by Tim Worth, which uses three different possible steepness distance criteria: 100m, 800m, 1600m.
A list of steepest peaks can be greatly influenced by the length of fixed distance being referenced from a given summit. Some peaks are steeper over longer or shorter downward distances than other peaks. In example, Mount Baring is Washington's 30th-steepest peak using a 100m fixed distance from its summit, steepest overall peak using 800m, and 27th-steepest peak using 1600m. In another example, Sloan Peak is Washington's 86th-steepest peak using a 100m fixed distance from its summit, 14th-steepest using 800m, and 9th-steepest using 1600m. The general rule of thumb is that a sharply-pointed mountain tends to have greatest steepness at a lower fixed distance from a summit (such as 100m), while a more massive mountain with steep sides tends to have greatest steepness at a higher fixed distance from a summit (such as 800m or 1600m).
Sloan Peak (Photo Credit: Josh Lewis)As a result of steepness determination being based upon which fixed distance is referenced, multiple lists are included on this SummitPost page. Each steepness distance criteria (100m, 800m, 1600m) has its own Top 100 list on this page. The 100m list can be considered a decent indicator of peaks with the steepest summit pinnacles in Washington.
Perhaps most importantly to those interested in this peakbagging category, a "Master List" of steepest Washington peaks has been created and is also included on this page. The Master List uses an average compilation of the other three distance criteria combined. The Master List on this page shows the steepest peaks in Washington overall, rather than only steepest sections of peaks as demonstrated by the other lists using single steepness distance criteria (100m, 800m, 1600m).
An explanation of how the steepness criteria is determined is further explained in the following section.
Criteria For Determining Steepness And Creating Steepness Lists
The steepness criteria explained in this section came verbatim from Tim Worth's NED website and is shown in italics.Three ranking criteria are presented at three horizontal distances (100m/800m/1600m):
1. Maximum angle of steepness in any direction outward from summit. This measures the steepest single line at the given distance.
2. Highest minimal angle of steepness in any direction outward from summit. Every other direction will have a more severe drop than the figure shown here. At 100m this measure favors sharp spires, at 800m and 1600m the most conically shaped summits will score near the top.
3. Average angle of steepness in all directions outward from summit. Best measure for all around steepness of a summit at the given distance interval. At 100m, sharp spires are identified, 800m/1600m favor large mountains with great vertical drop.
The Summit Steepness Master List is a normalized average of the average angle figures at the three given distances(100m/800m/1600m). This is the best measure for all around vertical drop, with all distances represented.
------------
To create his 100m list, 800m list, 1600m list, and Master List, Tim Worth regarded the definition of a "peak" as having at least 300' of prominence. Tim Worth's prominence determinations were compiled from John Kirk's website, which actually uses a form of optimistic prominence by averaging clean prominence versus full optimistic prominence. Basically, Tim Worth's lists include "peaks" which had optimistic averages of at least 300' of prominence.
However, many notable peakbaggers and mountaineers consider a true "peak" as having at least 400' of clean prominence. This prominence threshold is the standard used by most notable peakbaggers in Washington. Depending upon which criteria is used as a definition of a peak, several peaks are different between the Master Lists but most peaks are on both Master Lists.
I have posted two Master Lists on this page. Using a variety of resources (including Tim Worth's website, Peakbagger.com, listsofjohn.com), I created the first Master List, which only contains peaks with at least 400' of clean prominence (a largely accepted prominence threshold for Washington peaks). The second Master List, created by Tim Worth, contains peaks with at least 300' of estimated/optimistic prominence. The use of clean prominence makes the first Master List much more reliable and accurate than Tim Worth's Master List, but out of respect for Tim Worth's efforts and cooperation I included his version on this page as a secondary list and general reference.
These two Master Lists will likely be the most important resources and checklists for potential future completers, which is why it was important to show each list here. The 100m, 800m, and 1600m lists are also shown on this page, each listed as Tim Worth originally created them (using peaks with at least 300' of optimistic prominence), and should only be used as a general reference for each category.
The first Master List (see next section) is the most researched, comprehensive, and accurate steepness list for Washington peaks. As such, this list is recommended as the primary list to use for the top 100 steepest peaks in Washington.

Hozomeen Massif, with peaks listed at #1, #4, #9 (Photo Credit: "Gimpilator")Fun Facts Of Steepness Master List (400P)
-> No person has yet completed the Top 100 Steepness Master List.-> Unlike all other major Washington peakbagging lists (such as county highpoints, county greatest prominence points, 2000' prominence peaks, isolation peaks), the Top 100 Steepness Master List does not contain any mountains located in the southwestern, southeastern, or northeastern sides of the State.
-> The average steepness of peaks on the Master List is 34.94°.
-> 24 mountains on the Top 100 Steepness Master List are on the Bulger List for Top 100 highest peaks in Washington.
-> 24 mountains on the Master List have more than 2000' of prominence.
-> The most mountains on the Master List are located in Whatcom County (24 peaks), Snohomish County (23 peaks), and Chelan County (22 peaks). The other counties with peaks making the list are Skagit (17), King (9), Kittitas (4), Okanogan (4), Jefferson (2), Pierce (1), and Mason (1).
-> Seven mountains on the Master List have summits found along county lines.
-> The highest elevation peak on the Master List is Little Tahoma Peak at 11138' (#38 for overall steepness).
-> The lowest elevation peak on the Master List is Russian Butte at 5123' (#69 for overall steepness).
-> The average elevation of peaks on the Master List is 7428'.
Updates And Revisions To Master List (400P)
October 16, 2012:-> Add unofficial name "Rouge Peak" to Peak 5380.
-> Add unofficial name "ExSpire" to Peak 5980.
-> Remove from Master List: Bonanza Peak SW (280' of clean prominence, was at Position 61), Chimney Rock North (354' of clean prominence, was at Position 81). Reason for removal: Not enough clean prominence; was originally given faulty prominence information.
-> Add to Master List: Peak 7747 ("Tradition Peak"), Peak 6799
September 20, 2015:
-> Remove from Master List: Peak 5915 (395' of clean prominence, was at Position 46). Reason for removal: Not enough clean prominence; was originally given faulty prominence information.
-> Add to Master List: West Twin Needle
-> Replace Distal Phalanx with Mantis Peak. Distal Phalanx is incorrectly listed on Tim Worth's website and "Lists of John" website as the highest point of its mountain but the higher point is actually Mantis Peak, located immediately east of Distal Phalanx. Mantis Peak has 7614' elevation with 574' of clean prominence; Distal Phalanx only has 7560'+ elevation (not 7620' as previously noted) with only 40' of clean prominence. However, this change does not affect the steepness (33.19°) or ranking (#75) of the mountain for the purposes of this list.
-> Replace Distal Phalanx with Mantis Peak on 300P and 800m lists, as well.
-> Add unofficial name "South Gemini Peak" to Peak 6799.
-> Add unofficial name "Trapper Annex" to The Trap.
October 9, 2015:
-> Remove from Master List: Seven Fingered Jack (380' of clean prominence, was at Position 78). Reason for removal: Not enough clean prominence; was originally given faulty prominence information.
-> Add to Master List: Voodoo Peak
Top 100 Steepest Peaks Of Washington (TIM WORTH'S 300P MASTER LIST)
Tim Worth created lists based upon a "peak" being defined as having at least 300' of prominence.

Two Master Lists CreatedThinking thoroughly about this List page, I decided to create *two* Master Lists. One Master List shows peaks that are defined as having a minimum 300' of prominence, which is the standard Tim Worth originally used. Another Master List only shows peaks that are defined as having a minimum 400' of prominence. A 400P type of peak list tends to be most agreeable amongst peakbaggers, especially those in/around Washington. I will leave it to the individuals to decide which Master List to use; there are only six different peaks on each list. I will keep Tim Worth's original 100m, 800m, and 1600m steepness lists on the page, as a general reference. He put quite a lot of effort into those lists, and that effort should not be forgotten.

GPS CoordinatesSometime soon, I plan to include either an online map link, GPS coordinates, or both for each peak shown on the Master List(s).
