Description
The typical descent route, but can be enjoyed as an easy non technical mountain route.
From the PCT around 5.5 miles from road to the Kendall Katwalk, at 5,400’ hike past Ridge Lake and up and above Alaska Lake to Bumblebee Pass. Descend the opposite side to a basin south of Mt. Thomson. From the basin on the right follow a steep heather and talus slope to a notch at 5,600’. From the notch turn left and continue to the final summit rocks. There is a short 20’ section of class 4 and the remainder is class 3. You can rappel that section if you bring a rope, make a handline or downclimb it easily. This is a very long 10 hour day.
