Rated as mid importance, since it's a well-known mountain to Californians. Currently stub class, not far from start. --Justin 04:23, 9 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Brower Palisade?

edit

Saw this on a visit back to California, about proposed legislation to renamed North Palisade after David Brower: Admirers of environmentalist seek a monument 14,242 feet high. In any case, it contains decent reference material to expand this article. --Justin (talk) 03:26, 25 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Agree. It makes this Article quote look questionable:
"The Wheeler Survey referred to it as Northwest Palisade in 1878. The following year, Lil Winchell called it Dusy's Peak after local rancher Frank Dusy. In 1895, Bolton Brown advocated yet another name, after David Starr Jordan.[8] U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, supported by..."
Seems it was named Dusy's Peak twice. And who is Lil Winchell? ...Some guy called it Dusy's Peak? Well I call it AwesomeSauce Peak. Also, the article claims it's the fourth, not third tallest. But then, Mt Whitney recently "grew" 10 feet too. ???

"Brower was also an accomplished mountaineer and was one of a small clique of men who explored California's rooftop in the early 20th century. He pioneered a route up North Palisade and made the first winter ascent."
