Mount Silverthrone, Mountain summit in Denali National Park, United States.

Mount Silverthrone is a glaciated peak in the Alaska Range, located in Denali Borough, Alaska, rising to about 13,200 feet (4,000 meters) above sea level. Several glaciers cover its slopes, including the Brooks Glacier, which begins just below the summit.

Mount Silverthrone was named by a U.S. Army cold-weather test party that trialled special equipment under arctic conditions in spring 1945, because of the peak's stately appearance at the head of Brooks Glacier. The first ascent was made on 12 April 1945 by Norman Bright and Frank P. Foster; the German Wikipedia gives 23 April 1945 and credits Bradford Washburn.

The name was given by the U.S. Army Forces Cold Weather test party, which tested special equipment under arctic conditions in spring 1945. They chose "Silverthrone" because of the mountain's stately appearance at the head of Brooks Glacier. The peak stands 10.8 miles east of Denali.

The best time to attempt the mountain is May or June, when weather tends to be most stable. The peak is extremely remote, so full self-sufficiency and thorough preparation are essential before setting out.

The sources disagree on the first ascent: an English account credits Norman Bright and Frank P. Foster on April 12, 1945, while a German account credits Bradford Washburn on April 23, 1945. The mountain was named by a U.S. Army cold-weather test party that was testing special equipment under arctic conditions in spring 1945.
