The Sierra Sampler List
created by Darrick Danta (Echo Vol 55 #1, 2011, pg.13)

Listed below, by region, are the 100 peaks that comprise the Sierra Sampler. While no mountain in the Sierra can be climbed without time, effort, and risk, these peaks represent a sub-set of the full SPS List that are relatively easy to get to, pose less danger than others on the List, are fun to climb and/or hold other qualities, and are drawn from the main areas of the range. The Sampler, which has been approved by the SPS Management Committee, provides a good introduction to the Sierra for climbers of varying degrees of experience and ability. Enjoy!
