Mount Sill, Mountain peak in Sierra Nevada, California.
Mount Sill reaches an elevation of 14,159 feet, featuring granite formations and connecting to North Palisade through a high rocky ridge.
The first ascent of Mount Sill took place on July 24, 1903, by a team of four climbers including James Hutchinson and Joseph LeConte.
The Northern Paiute people named this mountain Nen-i-mish, translating to 'the Guardian of the Valley' in their traditional language.
The mountain presents multiple climbing routes ranging from class 2-3 scrambles to technical class 5.7 ascents, with optimal climbing conditions during summer months.
The peak's location at a sharp turn of the Sierra Crest creates extensive viewing opportunities of both Kings Canyon National Park and Inyo National Forest.
