Its first ascent was undertaken by members of the original Ptarmigan Traverse, and the peak is a popular climb for parties on the traverse.〔 It was named by early mountaineer Herman Ulrichs in 1935 because of the rugged appearance of its north face.〔 The peak is usually accessed from Cascade Pass via the Ptarmigan Traverse. ==Geography and climate== Mount Formidable is located on a spur ridge about half a mile west of the Cascade crest, between Cascade Pass and Dome Peak, and about a mile west of Spider Mountain.〔 It is within the Marine west coast climatic zone, and experiences heavy snowfall as a result. The surrounding area is part of the Pacific temperate rainforest ecoregion, and lower elevations are densely vegetated.〔 The Middle Cascade Glacier, which drains into the Skagit River via the Cascade River, is on the north side of the mountain.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Formidable」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
