    Lamarck Col!



    Lamarck Col can be ascended from the east by traversing the glacier beneath, or from the west via a cross country scramble through Darwin Canyon. Please ensure that you carry proper snow gear (crampons/ice axe) if you plan on traveling over this pass! Safety first!



    Mount Lamarck was officially named in 1911 after French naturalist Jean-Baptist Lamarck, who was an early proponent of biological evolution. The peak sits at 4,090m, and is one of eight peaks forming the Evolution Crest of the Sierra Nevada. The first six peaks were named in 1895 after Darwin and prominent supporters of his theory of evolution. In 1911, two more peaks were added to the group: Lamarck and Mendel. A small glacier is sustained under the northern cliffs of the cirque, and precipitation on the west side of the mountain drains into Evolution Creek- a tributary of the San Joaquin River.
