Mount Brooks, Mountain peak in Denali National Park, Alaska, US

Mount Brooks is a mountain peak in Denali National Park that rises from a ridge extending northeast of the main Denali massif. The summit sits on an elevated ridge positioned between two major glaciers with views across the surrounding icefields.

The peak was officially named in 1947 by the United States Board on Geographic Names in honor of a geologist who spent decades surveying Alaska. The first recorded ascent took place in the early 1950s.

The first ascent of Mount Brooks was made on July 5, 1952, by Thayer Scudder, Winslow Briggs, J. S. Humphreys and David Bernays. The name, given by Belmore Browne in 1912, honours the geologist Alfred Hulse Brooks, who was chief geologist for Alaska with the USGS from 1903 to 1924.

The best climbing season is late spring when conditions are more stable and daylight extends much longer. Access requires air transport or helicopter support since the remote location within the park has no road access.
