Mount Limbert

Mount Limbert reaches roughly 10,385 feet and ranks as the twelfth highest peak in the Sawtooth Range of central Idaho. The summit sits amid high mountain wilderness surrounded by jagged rock formations and valleys.

The peak was originally called Ede Ebert when named by the Iowa Mountaineers before receiving its current name. It was renamed in the 1920s to honor Robert Limbert's work as a photographer and wilderness guide.

The peak honors Robert 'Two Gun' Limbert, a figure whose work helped establish the Craters of the Moon National Monument. His name has become part of the mountain's identity and reflects his dedication to protecting wild places.

Access starts from the Fishhook Trail, which leads to scree slopes and valleys that require careful route-finding. Climbing conditions are most favorable from July through September when snow coverage is minimal and stable.

The Robert W. Limbert Collection at Boise State University holds photographs and documents recording the mountain's early climbing and exploration history. These materials reveal how Limbert's photographic work helped document the mountainous region.
