Mount Torment is a 8,125 – 8,165 ft (2,477 – 2,489 m) high peak in the North Cascades of Washington in the United States.[4] It is located approximately 65 miles (105 km) northeast of the city of Everett.[5] First ascended on August 23, 1946, its name originates from the first ascent party, because of "the torture of a hot day with only one orange for quenching thirst." Since then, Mount Torment has gained popularity because of the Torment-Forbidden Traverse to neighboring Forbidden Peak, an exposed alpine route.[3]

The North Fork Cascade River rises in a basin below Mount Torment and flows several miles west to the Cascade River. Numerous waterfalls are found in this valley.
