Mount Muir
Mount Muir is a peak in the Sierra Nevada of California, south of Mount Whitney. This peak is named in honor of Scottish-born John Muir, a famous geologist, conservationist and founder of the Sierra Club. The southernmost section of the John Muir Trail contours along the west side of Mount Muir near its summit and ends on the summit of Mount Whitney.
==Climbing==
Among mountain climbers, a peak needs to meet certain criteria in order to be included in some lists. To be listed as an independent peak a summit must have of prominence. A reliable source gives Mount Muir's ''clean'' prominence as 298feet or 91meters,〔 and so the peak does not qualify for some lists of fourteeners based on elevation and prominence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=VulgarianRamblers.org )〕 It is included in some lists, because list makers use several methods to calculate prominence. Other lists are based on more subjective criteria and Mount Muir is included in the Sierra Peaks Section list,〔 and the Western States Climbers list.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Western States Climbers )〕
The easiest approach is from the John Muir Trail just north of its junction with the Mount Whitney Trail in Sequoia National Park. The trail passes very near the summit and the climb involves a short stretch of difficult scrambling up the steep, boulder-strewn, western slope to the summit block, (). A dayhike permit or a backcountry permit with a Whitney Zone stamp is required to hike the Mount Whitney Trail. There is no record of the first ascent.
The east side of Mount Muir, which is in the John Muir Wilderness, is a near-vertical cliff about high. The route on this side (the north side of the east buttress) was first climbed on July 11, 1935 by Nelson P. Nies and John D. Mendenhall. It is a roped climb, (class 4). The south side of the east buttress, also class 4, was first climbed on September 1, 1935, by Arthur B. Johnson and William Rice.〔
