Mount Foraker
United States
Nestled in the heart of Denali National Park, Mount Foraker is the second-highest peak in the Alaska Range and a formidable challenge for advanced mountaineers. Often overshadowed by nearby Denali, Foraker offers a remote and wild climbing experience, with towering ridges and sweeping glaciers.
The Sultana Ridge is the most frequently attempted route, offering sustained alpine climbing with steep snow slopes, knife-edged ridges, and significant exposure to weather. With over 3,000 meters of prominence, this peak demands skill, endurance, and experience in high-altitude conditions. Its remoteness adds another layer of complexity, as climbers must navigate vast glaciers and unpredictable Alaskan weather.
Summiting Foraker rewards climbers with unparalleled views of Denali, Mount Hunter, and the expansive tundra below. It’s a less-traveled but equally rewarding gem in the Alaska Range.
