Mount Morrison, Mountain summit in Mono County, California.
Mount Morrison reaches an elevation of 12,241 feet within the Sierra Nevada range, standing prominently south of Convict Lake near Mammoth Lakes.
Norman Clyde and John Mendendhall completed the first documented climb of Mount Morrison in 1928, establishing routes for future mountaineers.
The mountain bears the name of Robert Morrison, a merchant who lost his life during a pursuit of escaped convicts near Convict Lake in 1871.
The northeast face of Mount Morrison extends 600 meters with 16 pitches of mixed climbing, requiring technical expertise and proper safety equipment.
Mount Morrison contains fulgurites, glass tubes formed when lightning strikes specific soil types, creating natural geological formations within the mountain structure.
