They called it University Peak. They scrambled the talus of Gould's south ridge, and climbed the more solid rock of its summit block. This route, by way of the Kearsarge Pass Trail from the Onion Valley trailhead, remains the easiest and most accessible approach. [ 5 ]
Of the most prominent summits of California, only Mount Whitney exceeds 3000 meters (9843 feet) of topographic prominence. Five peaks exceed 2000 meters (6562 feet), nine peaks are ultra-prominent summits with more than 1500 meters (4921 feet), and 35 peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet) of topographic prominence.
The Sierra Nevada lies primarily in Central and Eastern California, with the Carson Range, a small but historically important spur, extending into Nevada. West-to-east, the Sierra Nevada's elevation increases gradually from 500 feet (150 m) in the Central Valley [ 18 ] to more than 14,000 feet (4,300 m) atop the highest peaks of its crest 50 to ...
The nearest trailhead to University Peak is Onion Valley. The least technical route to its summit is an off-trail hike up the south slopes. It offers a variety of other routes from easy scrambles to rock climbing. [8] The more challenging routes led the Sierra Club's Sierra Peaks Section to list University Peak as a Mountaineers Peak.

An intermontane valley at approximately 4,850 feet (1,480 m) elevation, Sierra Valley is surrounded by mountains ranging in elevation from 6,000 to 8,000 feet (2,400 m). The huge valley covering about 590 square miles (1,500 km 2 ) [ 1 ] is a down-faulted basin, formerly a lake of similar geologic origin to Lake Tahoe to the south, now filled ...
