Mount Meany is a 6,695-foot summit in Olympic National Park whose name, adopted from the 1889–90 Seattle Press Expedition, honors Edmond S. Meany, later a prominent University of Washington scholar, state legislator, and president of The Mountaineers. The area had appeared on an 1896 map as Mount Mesachie, using a Chinook Jargon word meaning “wicked.” The first recorded ascent came on August 8, 1907, by Asahel Curtis, Lorenz Nelson, and Peter McGregor. Though modest in height, the mountain holds small glaciers from the Olympics’ heavy snowfall, feeds the headwaters of the Elwha and Queets rivers, and is typically clearest from July through September.
