It is a part of the Cathedral Range, which is a mountain range in the south-central portion of Yosemite National Park. The range is part of the Sierra Nevada. History and GeologyMatthes crest is named for François E. Matthes, a cartographer and author who described the geology in the region where Matthes Crest lies. It was originally named "Echo Ridge" due to its proximity to the Echo Peaks.[5] Matthes crest arose as a nunatak in the glacial field which covered Tuolumne during the last ice age.[6] ClimbingThe first known ascent of Matthes Crest was by Jules Eichorn, Glen Dawson, and Walter Brem on June 16, 1931.[3] Climbing Matthes Crest by traversing the ridge from south to north is a popular alpine climbing activity today.[7] {{Gallery| title = Matthes Crest | width = 200 | File:Matthes_Crest_-_Tuolumne_Meadows_-_California,_USA.jpg|Matthes Crest from the west side | File:Matthes_crest_and_matthes_lake_from_the_north_east.jpg|Matthes Crest from the north east side}} See also
