The Minarets are a series of jagged peaks located in the Ritter Range, a sub-range of the Sierra Nevada in the state of California. They are easily viewed from Minaret Summit, which is accessible by auto. Collectively, they form an arête, and are a prominent feature in the Ansel Adams Wilderness which was known as the Minaret Wilderness until it was renamed in honor of Ansel Adams in 1984. The area is notable for two fatalities:

  • Die Minarets (englisch für Minarette) ist eine Reihe von zerklüfteten Berggipfeln in der , einem Teil der Sierra Nevada in Kalifornien. Zusammen bilden sie einen schmalen Gebirgskamm und sind ein bekanntes Merkmal der Ansel Adams Wilderness. Von der Benennung der Minarets durch das California Geographical Survey im Jahre 1868 wurde Folgendes berichtet: „Südlich des Mount Ritter erheben sich einige große Granitgipfel, sehr erhaben und scheinbar unerreichbar, welche wir Die Minarette genannt haben.“ Siebzehn der Minarets erhielten eigene inoffizielle Namen, wie etwa Michael Minaret, Adams Minaret, Leonard Minaret und Clyde Minaret. Bei dem Versuch, Letzteres zu besteigen, starb Walter A. Starr, Jr. im Jahre 1933. Der Anwalt und Bergsteiger war Autor des Werkes Starr’s Guide to the John Muir Trail and the High Sierra Region. Ursprünglich hieß das die Berge umgebende Wildnisgebiet Minarets Wilderness. 1984 wurde es nach dem Naturfotografen Ansel Adams umbenannt. (de)
  • The Minarets are a series of jagged peaks located in the Ritter Range, a sub-range of the Sierra Nevada in the state of California. They are easily viewed from Minaret Summit, which is accessible by auto. Collectively, they form an arête, and are a prominent feature in the Ansel Adams Wilderness which was known as the Minaret Wilderness until it was renamed in honor of Ansel Adams in 1984. The peaks were named in 1868 by the California Geographical Survey, which reported: "To the south of Mount Ritter are some grand pinnacles of granite, very lofty and apparently inaccessible, to which we gave the name of 'the Minarets.'"Seventeen of the Minarets have been given unofficial names, including Michael Minaret, Adams Minaret, Leonard Minaret, and Clyde Minaret. Clyde Minaret, named after Norman Clyde, is the tallest of the spires. The Southeast Face Route of Clyde Minaret is a technical rock climb featured in Fifty Classic Climbs of North America. The area is notable for two fatalities: * Walter A. Starr, Jr., author of Starr’s Guide to the John Muir Trail and the High Sierra Region, fell to his death while solo-climbing the northwest face of Michael Minaret in 1933. * Steve Fossett, an American aviator and adventurer, died in a plane crash near the Minarets in 2007.
