Hagerman Peak rises in Colorado’s Elk Mountains in the central Rockies and ranks among the state’s one hundred highest centennial peaks, all at least 13,800 feet high. Named for Percy Hagerman, who made the first recorded ascent with Henry Clark in 1907, the mountain preserves an early chapter of climbing history in a rugged range of steep, closely grouped summits. It stands near several notable landmarks, including Snowmass Peak, Snowmass Lake, Capitol Peak, Clark Peak, Buckskin Pass, and the Maroon Bells. Although Snowmass can look taller from Snowmass Lake, it is actually the end of Hagerman’s east ridge below Hagerman’s summit.
