Mount Hunter
United States
Located just south of Denali, Mount Hunter is a striking and technically demanding peak in the Alaska Range. Known to climbers for its steep faces and remote setting, it’s a favorite among seasoned alpinists seeking a serious challenge.
The West Ridge and Moonflower Buttress routes are two of the most celebrated climbs on Hunter. The Moonflower Buttress, in particular, features sustained technical climbing, with steep ice and mixed rock pitches that test even the most experienced mountaineers. For less technical but equally grueling ascents, climbers tackle the North Buttress, which involves complex glacier travel.
From the summit, climbers are rewarded with spectacular views of Denali, Mount Foraker, and the surrounding glaciers. Mount Hunter offers an unmatched experience for those ready to take on one of Alaska’s finest alpine challenges.
