Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mountain
Hawksbeak Peak is a mountain summit with an elevation of Шаблон:Convert located on the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in northern California, United States. The granitic summit is situated on the common boundary shared by Yosemite National Park with Hoover Wilderness, as well as the common border of Mono County and Tuolumne County. This remote peak is set at the head of Thompson Canyon, approximately eight miles west of Twin Lakes and 17 miles southwest of Bridgeport, the nearest town. Topographic relief is significant as the west aspect rises over Шаблон:Convert in less than one-quarter mile. The Шаблон:YDS West Face was first climbed in September 1989 by Alan Swanson and John Nye.[1] This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.[2]
Climate
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Hawksbeak Peak is located in an alpine climate zone.[3] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing moisture in the form of rain or snowfall to drop onto the range. Precipitation runoff from this landform drains northwest into headwaters of the West Walker River, and south to Rancheria Creek via Thompson Canyon.
