Description
WikipediaScylla is a 12,956-foot-elevation (3,949-meter) mountain summit located west of the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Fresno County, California, United States. This peak is situated in Kings Canyon National Park, 1.27 miles (2.04 km) southwest of Charybdis, 2.3 miles (3.7 km) southeast of Mount Goddard, and 2.57 miles (4.14 km) west of Mount McDuffie. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3,150 feet (960 meters) above Enchanted Gorge in approximately one mile. The John Muir Trail provides one possible approach option to this remote peak. An ascent of the peak is non-technical via the northwest slope, and inclusion on the Sierra Peaks Section peakbagging list generates climbing interest in this peak.
