Peak in the background looks like Redoubt so I'm going to say the mountain of interest is Bear Mountain (west or WSW side). It's the other side of Bear which has that really really steep wall (one of the steepest in the Cascades). Peak is just under 8,000 ft high.

The infamous Peak 7259'.

 

Coveted by many, climbed by few.

 

Located at the head of Nesakwatch Creek. Central buttress climbed in 1948 by Helmy Beckey while Fred took the entire cheerleading squad to prom. In the late 80's Peter Doorish established 27 other routes with names loosely based on Dante's Inferno.

Yes, it's 7259', and Fred refers to it as Rapid Peak on p. 164 of the Red Album, but whatthehell is with your route descriptions Mr. Berdinka? Wheredya get that from? [laf]

Pocket is the next one to the west, between Ensakwatch and Silesia creeks, sort of Half Dome appearing from the Reford trail. Rapid is the Bear appearing one at the head of Ensakwatch/Nesakwatch
