| seano | From Table  Date Climbed: Sep 1, 2011 | |
| End of the Milestone-Midway-Table-Thunder traverse, ~19h45 car-to-car from Shepherd Pass TH. I had to drop down the southwest side of Table, then go around the foot of its west ridge and back up "MacLeod pass" (the saddle south of Thunder). This is awfully long and loose, but the north side of the west ridge (class 4) had too much snow/ice. Trip report | |

| bc44caesar | East Ridge Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2010 | |
| Part of a linkup of Milestone, Midway, Table, and Thunder. Went up McLeod Pass (ick) after descending a gully on Table's West Ridge (bigger ick), then slogged up to the south summit on Thunder. The traverse to the true summit is great fun, although there's no way either of those cracks near the top are 4th class. Still pretty easy to solo, but steep offwidths are never 4th class IMO ;) 13hr day from my camp at the Kern River Trail/Lake South America Trail junction. | |

| Came back with Matthew to climb it as a dayhike. Got to scope out an unknown route up the East Face. Much finer weather this day! Trip Report | |

| Desert Solitaire | Traverse to Table Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2007 | |
| Climbed from the Thunder/Table drainage. Some good class 3-4 climbing near the top. Unfortunately, the old register has been lost, replaced by a newer one by the ever-diligent Sierra Peaks Section. Traversed to Table Mtn. via Macleod Pass, dropping down to the West Ridge. Good day. | |

| I waited out a ferocious thunderstorm for 5 hours inside my bivy sack high in Thunder Cirque before climbing the summit just before sunset. How appropriate considering the peak's name! Mostly whiteout conditions on the peak so I got no views, but the climbing made up for the uncooperative weather. Trip Report | |
