Lt. Zebulon Pike was dispatched by Jefferson to explore the southern reaches of the Louisiana Purchase. Zeb was the first to "discover" the mountain in 1806, though he never reached the summit. Many Indians (Utes, et al) likely climbed the mountain early. And, Mexican explorers likely "discovered" the mountain before Pike. Dr. Edwin James was the first to summit the mountain.
