Ch 3. Constance-Buckhorn

Peaks in the Constance-Buckhorn Group are detailed in Chapter 3 of the Climber's Guide to the Olympic Mountains. This group is in the Northeast sector of the Olympic Mountains (see map below).

Mt. Constance is a very popular mixed snow and rock climb and to a lesser extent so are Inner Constance and Warrior Peak. There are many other challenges among the numerous towers and spires along the Constance ridges, Warrior Arm, and Alphabet Ridge. A road washout on the Dosewallips River road and the ever-tough trail to Lake Constance have lessened some climber interest to the easier routes, which are on the east face on Mt. Constance. Mount Townsend is  climbed year around and the peaks in the Marmot Pass area are popular early spring climbs and summer hikes.
