Mount Hunter, Mountain summit in Denali National Park, Alaska, US
Mount Hunter rises 4,442 meters above sea level and stands as the third-highest peak in the Alaska Range, following Denali and Mount Foraker.
The first successful climb of Mount Hunter occurred in 1954 when Fred Beckey, Heinrich Harrer, and Henry Meybohm reached the summit via the West Ridge route.
The Dena'ina people named this mountain Begguya, which translates to 'Denali's Child' in their native language, reflecting their connection to the landscape.
Climbers need advanced technical skills and proper equipment to attempt Mount Hunter's routes, as it presents more challenging conditions than neighboring Denali.
The mountain features two distinct summits connected by a glacier plateau, with the North Summit reaching 14,583 feet and the South Summit at 13,965 feet.
