Guye Peak

Guye Peak

Guye Peak is a convert|5168|ft|m high mountain in Washington State, United States. It lies in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area of the Cascade Range. It overlooks Snoqualmie Pass from the north. The climb is convert|2000|ft|m|-2 from the pass valley and has mixed rock climbing and scrambling, ranging from class 3 to class 5.6. It is popular partly because of easy access from Interstate 90.

Like other hiking experiences in the region, Guye Peak has wet-climate hazards such as mossy or otherwise slippery rocks in the summer and avalanches in the winter. At least six climbers have died in falls on Guye Peak, including the mathematician Oded Schramm in 2008.
