Description
Also called "Stegosaurus Butte" (by 55 Hikes Around Snoqualmie Pass: Mountains to Sound Greenway), "Taylor Knob" (by Middle Fork Guide: Seattle's closest mountains), and "Hogback" (Middle Fork Snoqualmie website).
The name "Choirboy" (a Bulger name?) has to be a reference to nearby Preacher Mountain. Also nearby is "The Pulpit".
