Mount Heyburn, Mountain summit in Sawtooth Range, Idaho, US
Mount Heyburn rises to 10,229 feet with two distinct summits, framing the southwestern end of Redfish Lake in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area.
Robert and Merriam Underhill, along with Dave Williams, completed the first recorded ascent of Mount Heyburn in 1935 via the Southwest Ridge route.
The mountain received its name from Weldon Heyburn, who served as an Idaho Senator in the United States Congress from 1903 to 1912.
Climbers access Mount Heyburn through Redfish Lake, taking either the 4.5-mile Bench Lake Trail or the Redfish Lake Creek Trail to reach the base.
The mountain features the Stur Chimney route, which includes climbing through distinctive overhanging chock stones on Grade II, 5.4 rated granite faces.
