Mount Delabarre is a remote 6,024-foot (1,836-metre) mountain summit deep within
History
The mountain is named after W. R. Delabarre, the Port Angeles banker who provided financial assistance for The Mountaineers' 1907 exploration into the Olympic Mountains, which included the first ascent of Mount Olympus.[4] At a later time, Delabarre and Asahel Curtis scouted a different trail to Mt. Olympus, and in the course of their journey, the men crossed the stream that would later officially bear his name.[5][6]
The mountain is also called "Mount Taylor",[1] but neither name has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names, so the peak is not labelled on USGS maps.
Two scramble routes to the summit have been established: via Martins Park trail, and via Godkin-Rustler Pass.[1]

Geology
