Horsemans Pack (8,156 feet (2,486 m)), and "The Horseman" (7,760 feet (2,370 m)), are summits located in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington. Located in the south unit of the park, Horsemans Pack is .70 mi (1.13 km) west of Snowfield Peak and the Neve Glacier descends from the east slopes of the mountain. The first ascent of Horsemans Pack was made August 1, 1931, by William Degenhardt and Herbert Strandberg who also named this feature, whereas the first ascent of The Horseman was made July 17, 1982, by John Roper, Silas Wild, and Russ Kroeker. The Horseman's toponym has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, but Horsemans Pack has not.
