Notch Peak

Notch Peak is a distinctive summit located on Sawtooth Mountain in the House Range, west of Delta, Utah, United States.

[7] The north face of Notch Peak is divided by a large shelf into an upper and lower wall.

The Swiss Route (never repeated), Direct North West Ridge (or Pillars of Faith), and Book of Saturdays ascend the upper wall.

[8] This part of the House Range is chiefly made up of a passive margin sequence of Cambrian to Ordovician carbonate rocks.

At the base of the range is the pink/orange Notch Peak granite and monzonite,[9] which is Jurassic in age (143 to 169 million years old).

An intrusion (Notch Peak monzonite ) inter-fingers (partly as a dike ) with highly metamorphosed host rock ( Cambrian carbonate rocks ). From the canyon below the notch, near Notch Peak.
