In my perception, it is the only mountain in the world called 'Mount Baden-Powell', so why does it need an extra '(California)' designation in the title? I propose that this article be moved to simply Mount Baden-Powell. Wim van Dorst (

agree-I did remove the parenthesis per WP:MoS, but if there is not another, "California" should be removed entirely.

I'm afraid I don't have anything to contribute to this page, except the observation that if the quoted dedication speech was given on the summit of Mt Baden-Powell, as it seems to have been, in 1931, the first ascent could not have been by Weldon Heald in 1933. Weldon Heald is remembered for becoming the first person to ascend one hundred Southern California mountain summits of more than 5,000' elevation. Perhaps his first ascent of Baden-Powell was in 1933. In any case, the San Gabriel Mountains were crawling with weekend explorers from the late nineteenth century.

Technical stuff
I changed the elevation from
NGVD 29 to
NAVD 88 and provided a citation.
The quoted material might be still copyrighted. See
Public domain#Expiration. There needs to be a citation showing that they are public domain.
I changed the caption for the map in the gallery. I removed "Park service". I doubt the trail is maintained by the
National Park Service. It could be part of the
Pacific Crest Trail. Someone needs to check that out and it should be referred to in the section of the article that talks about the trail.
