Mount Dade is a 13,606-foot peak on the Sierra Nevada crest in northern California, in the John Muir Wilderness along the boundary of Sierra National Forest and Inyo National Forest near Bishop and Dade Lake. Probably named by the U.S. Geological Survey during surveys from 1907 to 1909, it was first recorded climbed on August 19, 1911, by Liston and McKeen of Fresno. The mountain stands in an alpine climate shaped by Pacific storms that bring rain and snow through orographic lift. Its runoff drains west toward Lake Italy and east into Rock Creek, and it has long attracted climbers on routes from class 2 ascents to technical faces and pillars.
