It is located in the town of Keene in Essex County, near Cliff Mountain[1] and Mount Skylight.[2] Surveyor Verplanck Colvin named the mountain after William C. Redfield, organizer and member of an expedition to Mount Marcy in 1837, and the first to guess that Marcy was the highest peak in the Adirondacks, and therefore in New York.[2] The earliest recorded ascent was made in 1894 by mountain guide Ed Phelps and a guest whose name has not been recorded.[2]
There is no maintained trail on the mountain, but an unmarked trail begins at the Uphill Lean-to along the Calamity Brook Trail, and proceeds along Uphill Brook and a tributary stream to the summit.[1]
