Whitehorse Mountain is a peak near the western edge of the North Cascades in Washington state. It is located just southwest of the Sauk River Valley town of Darrington, near the northern boundary of Boulder River Wilderness in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. While not of particularly high absolute elevation, even for the North Cascades, it is notable for its large, steep local relief. For example, its north face rises 6,000 feet (1,830 m) in only 1.8 mi (2.9 km).

  • Whitehorse Mountain je vrchol nedaleko západního konce Severních Kaskád v americkém státě Washington. Nachází se kousek jihozápadně od města v údolí řeky , v divočině Boulder River a národním lese Mount Baker-Snoqualmie. Přestože jeho nadmořská výška není příliš vysoká, jedná se o velkou horu se strmými svahy. Její severní svah nabírá za necelé 3 kilometry výšky 1830 metrů. (cs)
  • Der Whitehorse Mountain ist ein Gipfel nahe der Westkante der North Cascades im US-Bundesstaat Washington. Er liegt gerade südwestlich des Sauk River Valley und der Stadt Darrington, nahe der Nordgrenze der Boulder River Wilderness im Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Obwohl nicht von besonderer Höhe (selbst in den North Cascades), ist er doch wegen seiner großen Prominenz bemerkenswert. Seine Nordflanke steigt z.

  • Whitehorse Mountain je vrchol nedaleko západního konce Severních Kaskád v americkém státě Washington. Nachází se kousek jihozápadně od města v údolí řeky , v divočině Boulder River a národním lese Mount Baker-Snoqualmie. Přestože jeho nadmořská výška není příliš vysoká, jedná se o velkou horu se strmými svahy. Její severní svah nabírá za necelé 3 kilometry výšky 1830 metrů. Prvním horolezcem, který vystoupil na vrchol, byl v roce 1909 Nels Bruseth. Standardní cesta na vrchol vede po severozápadním svahu, začíná obtížnou chůzí, pokračuje šplháním po sněhu a končí šplhem třetí třídy. Horolezec při této cestě vystoupá téměř 1 830 metrů, tudíž se jedná o obtížnou horu. Mezi další cesty patří ledovec Whitehorse na severním svahu, Východní hřeben nebo Jihovýchodní hřeben. (cs)
  • Der Whitehorse Mountain ist ein Gipfel nahe der Westkante der North Cascades im US-Bundesstaat Washington. Er liegt gerade südwestlich des Sauk River Valley und der Stadt Darrington, nahe der Nordgrenze der Boulder River Wilderness im Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Obwohl nicht von besonderer Höhe (selbst in den North Cascades), ist er doch wegen seiner großen Prominenz bemerkenswert. Seine Nordflanke steigt z. B. um 6.000 ft (1.829 m) über eine Entfernung von nur 1,8 mi (3 km) an. Der Whitehorse Mountain wurde erstmals 1909 von Nels Bruseth bestiegen. Die Standard-Route zum Gipfel führt über die Nordwest-Schulter und beginnt mit einer schwierigen Wanderung, hat einen guten Anteil an Kletterstrecken im Schnee und gipfelt buchstäblich in einer Kletterpartie der Schwierigkeitsstufe 3 (YDS). Die Route überwindet dabei 6.000 ft (1.829 m) (Höhenmeter) und wird dadurch zu einer anstrengenden Angelegenheit. Andere Routen beinhalten den Whitehorse-Gletscher an der Nordseite des Gipfels, den Ost-Grat oder den Südost-Grat. Der Berg hieß bei den lokalen Küsten-Salish-Stämmen „So-bahli-ahli“, was im Lushootseed „vornehme Frau aus dem Osten“ bedeutet. Er wurde 1894 vom Postmeister W. C. Hiles in Darrington benannt, welcher bemerkte, dass ein Schneefeld auf dem Berg dem weißen Pferd des Pioniers Fred Olds ähnelte, das die Leute in der Stadt damals suchten. (de)
  • Whitehorse Mountain is a peak near the western edge of the North Cascades in Washington state. It is located just southwest of the Sauk River Valley town of Darrington, near the northern boundary of Boulder River Wilderness in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. While not of particularly high absolute elevation, even for the North Cascades, it is notable for its large, steep local relief. For example, its north face rises 6,000 feet (1,830 m) in only 1.8 mi (2.9 km). The first recorded climb of Whitehorse Mountain was made in 1909 by Nels Bruseth. The standard route on the peak is via the Northwest Shoulder, which begins with a difficult trail hike, involves a good deal of snow climbing, and culminates with some exposed scrambling, class 3. The net elevation gain is about 6,000 feet (1,828.80 m), making this a strenuous outing. Other routes include the Whitehorse Glacier on the north side of the peak, the East Ridge, and the Southeast Ridge. The mountain was known as "So-bahli-ahli" in the Lushootseed language used by local Coast Salish tribes, meaning a "lofty lady from the east". It was named by Darrington postmaster W. C. Hiles in 1894, who noted that a snowpatch on the mountain resembled a white horse owned by pioneer Fred Olds that the townspeople were searching for. Whitehorse Mountain appears in the movie War Games starring Matthew Broderick. In the scene Matthew Broderick's character is seen using a pay phone at a gas station with Whitehorse Mountain in the background. (en)
