Mount Triumph
Mount Triumph is a summit in the North Cascades range of Washington state. Located approximately west-northwest of the town of Newhalem, it was named by Lage Wernstedt, a surveyor with the U.S. Forest Service. A significant peak in North Cascades National Park, Mount Triumph is one of its "outstanding sights" and is well known among regional climbers for its lack of easy climbing routes to the summit.〔 Despite its moderate elevation, its local relief is dramatic. With the terrain deeply dissected by the valleys of Bacon Creek on the west and Goodell Creek on the east, it rises in less than on the latter side.
The mountain is extremely rugged and one author describes it as "a rock thumb with near-vertical to overhanging faces on three sides."〔 From above, it has the appearance of a three-bladed propeller consisting of the northeast, northwest, and south ridges. Mount Despair () is located to the north-northwest. The two peaks are connected by Triumph Pass ().
==Geology==
The mountain lies completely within the drainage of the Skagit River, Bacon Creek and Goodell Creek being tributaries of the Skagit. Two small glaciers are found below the east face and north faces, both of which are receding.〔 The south ridge of Mount Triumph ends at a minor peak that has been called Thornton Peak ().〔 On its south flank is a deep cirque that hold the Thornton Lakes, a chain of three lakes at to , the source of south-flowing Thornton Creek, another tributary of the Skagit River.
Mount Triumph is composed of old orthogneiss. Neighboring Mount Despair is an exposure of light grey granodiorite, part of the great pluton of the Chilliwack batholith, which is visible west of the Thornton Lakes. East of the lakes are dark amphibolite, orthogneiss and mica quartz schist.
