Sevy Peak, Mountain summit in Sawtooth Range, Idaho, US
Sevy Peak is a mountain summit in the Sawtooth Range located within Idaho's Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The peak features steep rocky slopes and exposed ridges that require technical climbing skills to navigate.
The peak was officially named in 1973 after John Lowe Sevy, a forest supervisor who managed the Sawtooth National Forest for many years. His long tenure shaped how this mountain region was developed and protected.
The mountain summit stands as a testament to the dedication of forest service professionals who shaped the management of Idaho's natural resources.
Reaching the summit requires advanced climbing experience and technical rock climbing skills. Visitors should prepare thoroughly and be ready for exposed terrain with limited safety anchors.
The mountain sees very few ascents compared to other summits in the range, keeping it relatively remote and wild. This lack of crowds makes it special for climbers seeking solitude and a true wilderness experience.
