Thunderbolt Peak is a peak in the Palisades group of peaks in the Sierra Nevada in the U.S. state of California. It rises to 14,009 feet (4,270 m) and could be considered the thirteenth highest peak in the state but since the peak has less than 300 feet (91 m) of prominence it is usually considered a subsidiary peak of North Palisade.[7]

The first ascent was attempted by a party of very well known climbers. During the climb, a lighting struck very close to Jules Eichorn braking his concentration. The mountain was named in commemoration of this event.[6]
