Spire Point is an 8,264-foot mountain in Washington’s North Cascades, within Mount Baker-Snoqualmie and Wenatchee National Forests, in a heavily glaciated and exceptionally rugged part of the range. Spire Glacier lies on its northwest slope and Dana Glacier to the east. The surrounding sharp summits, ridges, deep valleys, and dramatic relief were shaped over millions of years by uplift, faulting, and repeated Pleistocene glaciation, which carved the region’s characteristic U-shaped valleys. The mountain also reflects the North Cascades’ marine west coast climate, with Pacific moisture bringing heavy precipitation and winter snow. Its steep, complex terrain has also made it known as a technical climb.
