Nature
Norman Clyde Peak is a 13,970-foot mountain in the Palisades of California’s Sierra Nevada, standing on the main ridge between Middle Palisade and Palisade Crest in one of the range’s densest clusters of high summits. Its north face contains the Norman Clyde Glacier, and the Middle Palisade Glacier lies to the east; together they feed the headwaters of the South Fork of Big Pine Creek. The mountain was named after mountaineer Norman Clyde, who first ascended it in 1930 by way of the glacier that later took his name.
