* Note on Crooks Peak / Day Needle: This peak does not appear on most lists of California Fourteeners. However, the US Geological Survey does list it as a summit that is separate from Mount Whitney. Crooks Peak is located 0.25 miles south of the summit of Whitney - according to USGS rules this us sufficient for it to be considered a separate peak (by the same rule Starlight Peak is not listed by the USGS as a peak separate from North Palisade - but Starlight Peak is included here for the sake of exhaustiveness). According to the USGS, Crooks Peak (also known as Day Needle) was named by an Act of Congress in 1990 in honor of Hulda Crooks (1896-1997), who climbed the summit at the age of 91. The summit is a 10 minute class 1 jolt from the Whitney Trail and can be seen from the trail. The summit is a narrow pile of boulders, and affords a superb view of Mount Whitney and surrounding peaks. There are nice technical climbing routes on Crooks Peak from the East side.
