Tresidder Peak

Tresidder Peak is a granite summit in Yosemite National Park's Cathedral Range with two distinct high points. The two peaks are linked by a ridge that climbers must traverse to reach the higher point.

The peak was named after Donald Tresidder, a former Stanford University president who led the Yosemite Park & Curry Company. His decades of involvement in developing the park resulted in this geographical recognition.

Mountain climbers document their experiences in detailed logs, sharing technical information about routes and conditions for future adventurers to reference.

Climbing this peak is a technical challenge with steep sections and exposed passages. Rock climbing experience and solid footwork skills are essential for reaching the summit safely.

The rock is known for its loose granite composition with plagioclase feldspar crystals that separate under climbing pressure. This quality makes each ascent feel unpredictable and demands careful footwork.
