Mount Russell, Mountain peak in Denali Borough, United States.

Mount Russell rises to 3,557 meters in the Alaska Range, featuring a pyramid shape with golden granite formations and steep ridges.

The first successful ascent of Mount Russell occurred in 1962 when German mountaineers reached the summit through the Chedotlothna Glacier and west face.

The mountain represents a significant technical challenge within the Alaska Range, drawing expert climbers who seek to test their skills in arctic conditions.

Access to Mount Russell requires careful planning due to changing glacier conditions, with Dall Glacier currently serving as the primary landing point for expeditions.

The mountain experiences stronger wind patterns than typical for its elevation due to its position receiving direct storm winds from surrounding lowland plains.
