A nearby peak 1/2 mile from the popular Del Campo, Gothic Peak was named after William Gothic, an early prospector. Combining Gothic with Del Campo can make a fine weekend two-peak weekend trip. The main route is a class 3 scramble. Camping in the Gothic Basin of Foggy Lake area can be especially beautiful.

Activity Notes

This is a linked climb with Del Campo Peak. We will hike into Gothic Basin Saturday morning August 20th, make a quick camp, and attempt Del Campo Saturday afternoon, returning to Gothic Basin to camp. On Sunday morning we'll attempt Gothic Peak, then return to Gothic Basin to break camp, hike out, and drive home. This climb will take place solely on WA DNR land. The climb will officially start and end just inside the WA DNR boundary at 3,660 feet elevation on the Gothic Basin Trail. This area of the Gothic Basin Trail is easily accessed via the Barlow Pass Trailhead and Monte Cristo Trail. More information will be provided to participants in the formal prospectus.
