Jepson Peak, Mountain peak in San Bernardino Mountains, California, United States.
Jepson Peak is a mountain summit in the San Bernardino range that rises to about 11,205 feet. It sits within the San Gorgonio Wilderness and is connected to surrounding peaks along a high ridge system.
The mountain was named after Willis Linn Jepson, a University of California botanist and co-founder of the Sierra Club. This naming honors his work studying and protecting California's mountain environments.
The peak attracts climbers who come to practice skills before attempting harder mountains in the surrounding ranges. It serves as a stepping stone for people building their mountaineering experience in this region.
The best time to climb is during stable weather when snow and ice cover is minimal. Visitors should start early in the day and be prepared for rapidly changing mountain conditions.
The north face contains multiple climbing routes through Jepson Bowl with snow-filled gullies that maintain consistent steep angles. This section appeals to experienced mountaineers looking for technical climbing challenges.
