Mount Huntington, Mountain summit in Denali National Park, Alaska, US

Mount Huntington is a rock and ice pyramid in the central Alaska Range, about 8 miles (13 km) south-southeast of Denali and 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Mount Hunter. Its faces drop over 5,000 feet (1,520 m) in about a mile (1.6 km) in almost every direction. The summit rises above the West Fork of the Ruth Glacier to the north and the Tokositna Glacier to the south.

Mount Huntington was first climbed in 1964 by a French expedition led by Lionel Terray via the Northwest Ridge, thereafter called the French Ridge. A special report on the ascent aired on the program Les Coulisses de l'exploit, with Terray as narrator. The second ascent came the following year via the West Face/West Rib, described by David Roberts in The Mountain of My Fear.

The mountain's shape inspired the Paramount Pictures logo. Its 1964 first ascent by Lionel Terray's French expedition was filmed for the television programme Les Coulisses de l'exploit, with Terray himself narrating. The Northwest Ridge has been called the French Ridge since that climb.

Climbers typically approach via the West Fork of Ruth Glacier or Tokositna Glacier, with optimal conditions from late spring through early summer. Prior experience with glacier travel and technical climbing is important for any attempt.

The mountain's triangular profile inspired the Paramount Pictures logo. In 2017, Clint Helander and Jess Roskelley spent five days on the Gauntlet Ridge and slept two nights on the summit. The French 1964 ascent was filmed for the TV programme Les Coulisses de l'exploit, narrated by Lionel Terray himself.
