Donn Seeley's North Thunder Mountain Summit Hike Stanley: We had an amazing hike up Bells Canyon and 5 of us summitted North Thunder Mountain today. Starting at the Bells Canyon Trailhead at 6:30 a.m., we made it to the Bells Cleaver saddle (elevation 10,720) by around 11:30 and then descended about 200 feet into Thunder Bowl. From there we began a 600-foot steep scrambling ascent over boulders and a tight couloir to reach the Thunder Ridge. After a short scramble we reached the summit of North Thunder Mountain (elevation 11,150) just after 1:00. Five of us made it to the summit. Participants were Donn Seeley, Deborah Askew, Will McCarvill, Steve Glaser, Stanley Chiang and Tara Reeves. At the Upper Reservoir, which was quite low this late in the season. Note the waterline from 2 months ago on the dead trees. L-R: Tara, Donn, Steve, Deborah and Will.
