North Maroon Peak: The other Maroon Bell
North Maroon Peak is the second Bell — the lower twin to Maroon Peak, separated by a sharp Class 5 ridge. Its standard route is a Class 4 climb up the northeast ridge from Crater Lake, on the same loose Maroon Formation that earns the pair their "Deadly Bells" warning.
