Mt Huntington Expedition
Climb Alaska

Summary

Mount Huntington is arguably the most beautiful peak in the Alaska Range. At 12,400' it is not as high as its loftier neighbors, but offers big challenges for technically proficient climbers. The West Face Couloir, also known as the Nettle-Quirk route ascends a prominent line of ice up the middle of the west face. Steep snow leads to even steeper ice amidst the beautiful granite of this massive wall. A high camp allows weary climbers a night of rest before attempting the summit via the upper portion of the French Ridge. For the strong climber with good steep-ice climbing skills, this route is World class!
