Mount Sill
Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox mountain
Mount Sill is one of the fourteeners of the Sierra Nevada in California. It is located in the Palisades, a group of prominent rock peaks with a few small glaciers on their flanks. Mount Sill is located 0.6 miles (1 km) east of North Palisade, the high point of the group. The two peaks are connected by a high, rocky ridge, on the north side of which lies the Palisade Glacier. Mount Sill lies on the main Sierra Crest, but is at a point where the crest turns sharply, giving it particularly striking summit views. On one side is Kings Canyon National Park and Fresno County; on the other is the John Muir Wilderness, Inyo National Forest and Inyo County.
Routes on Mount Sill are found on all sides of the peak and range in difficulty from scrambles (Template:YDS) to a moderately technical rock climbs (class 5.7).[1]
The mountain is called Nen-i-mish ("the Guardian of the Valley") by the Indigenous Northern Paiute people.[2][1] Its English name was coined, in 1904, by Joseph LeConte, a noted mountaineer, in honor of American poet Edward Rowland Sill.[3]
