Tenaya Peak, Granite mountain summit in Yosemite National Park, United States
Tenaya Peak rises 10,306 feet above sea level, featuring multiple granite faces and offering clear views of the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountain range.
The mountain received its name from Chief Tenaya, leader of the Ahwahneechee people, who lived in Yosemite Valley before the arrival of European settlers.
The mountain serves as a memorial to the Native American heritage of Yosemite, representing the connection between the land and its original inhabitants.
Climbers access the peak through various routes from the Tenaya Lake trailhead, with optimal climbing conditions occurring during summer months from June to September.
The mountain contains multiple climbing paths combining traditional crack climbing and slab routes across its granite surface at different technical difficulty levels.
