def. not the 18th highest in cali. Aggesiz (sp) in the palisades i know is the 20th highest in CA at well over 13800. there are 13 14ers in CA and numerous peaks in the very high 13000s.
Um, ropes? Having climbed both Dana and Lyell, I can assert that neither require ropes, though crampons and an axe on Lyell may be useful. So while Dana doesn't require ropes, it's not unique in this aspect, and Lyell is the higher peak.
Mt. Lyell does not require ropes. We've climbed it with just an ice axe. Asserting that Mt. Dana is the highest in Yosemite that does not require ropes is incorrect.

I also thought that Dana was named after Richard Henry Dana, first time I've heard otherwise.
