Norman Clyde Peak, Mountain summit in Sierra Nevada range, California, United States.
Norman Clyde Peak rises to 13,920 feet in elevation, featuring multiple climbing routes including the North Face with its 700-foot snow and ice gully.
The peak received its name from Norman Clyde, a mountaineer who completed over 130 first ascents in California's Sierra Nevada during the early 20th century.
The mountain holds particular significance for climbers as Norman Clyde's ashes rest on its crest, marking his connection to Sierra Nevada's mountaineering history.
Access to Norman Clyde Peak begins at Glacier Lodge via Highway 395 South from Bishop to Big Pine, then west on Big Pine Creek Road.
The peak offers eight different climbing routes varying in difficulty, from class 3 scrambles to technical ascents reaching 5.9 in grade rating.
