Nature
Molar Tooth is a 7,547-foot granite summit in Washington’s North Cascades, on the border of Okanogan and Skagit counties in the Okanagan Range within Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest. Known for solid granite and a rugged setting, it offers class 4 scrambling on its easiest route and class 5 technical climbing on steeper faces. The peak also marks a drainage divide, with water flowing east toward tributaries of the Methow River and west toward tributaries of the Skagit River. Its sharp ridges and deep U-shaped valleys reflect a landscape shaped by tectonic activity, uplift, faulting, accreted terranes, and repeated glaciation under a Pacific-influenced mountain climate.
