Seven Gables is a prominent Sierra Nevada summit in the John Muir Wilderness of northern California, rising sharply above Upper Bear Creek Meadows and ranking as California’s 133rd highest peak. Its slopes drain into Bear Creek within the South Fork San Joaquin River system, and its alpine climate brings frequent snow and rain from Pacific storms. First climbed on September 20, 1894, by Theodore Solomons and Leigh Bierce, it took its name from Solomons, who was struck by its unusual shape. Later climbers added a Sierra Club register and established notable technical routes, including the Direct East Face, helping make the mountain a classic climbing destination.
