The Mount Maude is the fifteenth highest peak in the State of Washington . It is part of the Entiat Mountains , a sub-chain of the North Cascades in the Glacier Peak Wilderness , the headwaters of the Entiat River . The name of the mountain comes from Albert H. Sylvester , who wanted to honor Frederick Stanley Maude .
The south side of the mountain consists mainly of rock rubble with small rocks interspersed; it is often compared to mountains in the Colorado Rockies. The northeast side is completely different, it consists of a steep rock wall that protects the small Entiat glacier . Most climbers climb Mount Maude, Seven Fingered Jack, and the occasional Mount Fernow on the same tour.
geology
The mountain consists of Cretaceous orthogneiss and tonalite . The flank of the mountain on the southwest side consists of Triassic orthogneiss and Triassic to Permian heterogeneous metapmorphic rock. In contrast, the northeast side consists of Eocene quartz - diorite and small marble deposits . There are many normal breaks as well as a small leaf displacement near the spectacular peaks at the summit.
