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

Mount Russell is a steep peak of the central Alaska Range, about 35 mi (56 km) southwest of Denali, reaching 3,560 m. Its summit rises 2,000 m above the Chedotlothna Glacier to the northwest in only 2.9 km, and almost 3,000 m above the lower Yentna Glacier to the south in 13 km. It is the highest point in the Kuskokwim River watershed.

German mountaineers first reached the summit in 1962 via the Chedotlothna Glacier and west face route. This ascent opened the way for understanding technical climbing possibilities on this peak.

The peak draws experienced mountaineers seeking to test themselves on technical terrain in harsh alpine settings. Climbers value the demanding routes and the skills they require to navigate safely.

The standard North East Ridge route starts from the upper Yentna Glacier basin, where a landing at about 8,000 feet is feasible just outside the wilderness portion of the park. The first ascent party instead climbed the West Face from the Chedotlothna Glacier. Guided climbs of the peak are available.
