Mesahchie Peak is the highest peak of Ragged Ridge in the North Cascades. Mesahchie means "wicked" in Chinook jargon. It is located west of Highway 20 about 7 miles NW of Rainy Pass. Most of the approaches lead to the south rib and a series of class 3-4 pitches to the summit. Expect a lot of scrambling with definite exposure.
