Overview

The Mountaineer's Peaks were designated by the Sierra Peak Section (SPS) of the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club. The current version of the full SPS Peak List contains 247 peaks. Of these, 15 are designated as Emblem Peaks and 35 as Mountaineer's Peaks. While the Emblem Peaks were chosen on the basis of their bulk and prominence, these 35 Mountaineer's Peaks were selected based on the quality of their climbing.
