Mount Broderick, Granite mountain summit in Yosemite National Park, United States.
Mount Broderick is a granite summit in Yosemite National Park that rises prominently from the valley floor with exposed rock faces and steep slopes. The mountain displays layered stone formations typical of this area's geological makeup.
The mountain was named after David C. Broderick, a California politician from the 1800s. This naming reflects the tradition of commemorating historical figures in the region's geography.
Rock climbers from different regions travel to Mount Broderick throughout the year to experience its numerous climbing routes and technical challenges.
Access requires a wilderness permit from the park's visitor centers. Check weather and rock conditions before attempting the climb to ensure safe travel.
This peak was shaped by glacial activity during earlier ice ages and sits close to Liberty Cap. The two mountains form a notable pairing within the valley's skyline.
