According to many Sierra Climbers, this peak has
the best view from any summit in the Sierra Nevada. The climbing on
the Swiss Arete is more than outstanding. The well-featured rock makes
the climbing consistent and interesting.

basic climbing skills and excellent physical conditioning.
Day one brings us from the trail head to Sam Mack
Meadows and up to our base camp below Glacier Notch. Day two takes us
to the summit of Mt. Sill and back to base camp. Day three brings us
