South Yuyanq’ Ch’ex, Mountain summit in Chugach State Park, Alaska, United States.
South Yuyanq' Ch'ex rises 5,005 feet above sea level, featuring a pyramidal shape that stands prominently against the Alaskan landscape near Turnagain Arm.
The mountain, previously known as South Suicide Peak, received its current name from the Dena'ina language, where Yuyanq' Ch'ex translates to Heaven's Breath.
Local mountaineers maintain detailed route descriptions and climbing records of the peak's various ascent paths, contributing to the region's outdoor recreation heritage.
The Falls Creek route presents the most straightforward path to the summit, beginning at the Falls Creek Trailhead and extending 2.7 miles before reaching the ridge.
The summit offers direct views of three distinct geological features: the Chugach Mountains, Turnagain Arm waters, and the Anchorage metropolitan area.
