Description

Wikipedia

Mount Chamberlin is a 13,169-foot-elevation (4,014-meter) mountain summit located west of the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Tulare County, California. It is situated in Sequoia National Park, and is 3.2 miles (5.1 km) south-southwest of Mount Whitney, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Mount Hitchcock, and 3.5 miles west of Mount Corcoran. Topographic relief is significant as it rises approximately 1,830 feet (560 meters) above Crabtree Lakes in one-half mile. Mt. Chamberlin ranks as the 119th highest summit in California. This mountain's name was officially adopted in 1940 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to honor American geologist Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin (1843–1928). The first ascent of the summit was made by Sierra Club member J. H. Czock, date unknown.
