Jagged Mountain is a high mountain summit in the Needle Mountains range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The 13,830-foot (4,215 m) thirteener is located in the Weminuche Wilderness of San Juan National Forest, 12.2 miles (19.7 km) south-southeast (bearing 159°) of the Town of Silverton in San Juan County, Colorado, United States.[2][3][1]
The first ascent of the peak was made from the south in August 1933 by a party of five members of the San Juan Mountaineers led by Dwight G. Lavender, who described it as “the most difficult peak yet ascended in the Colorado Rockies”.[5] The following year Bill House and Elizabeth Woolsey put up a new route and found a descent down the north side of the peak, their descent route is now the most commonly used route on the peak.[6][4]
