Split Mountain is a fourteener in the Sierra Nevada of the U.S. state of California, near the southeast end of the Palisades group of peaks.

It is the only fourteener in the watershed of the South Fork Kings River, and it rises to 14,064 feet (4,287 m),[1] making it the eighth-highest peak in the state.

[4] Split Mountain's twin summits lie on a north–south running section of the Sierra Crest.

From here, another 3,500 feet (1,070 m) of cross-country climbing, including a short class 3 ridge traverse, leads to the summit.

[8] Split Couloir, a steep couloir dividing the north and south peaks of Split Mountain on its eastern side, is included in the book Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America, published in 2010.
