Mount Billy Mitchell, Mountain summit in Valdez-Cordova Census Area, Alaska.
Mount Billy Mitchell rises to 7,217 feet in elevation within the Chugach Mountains, featuring steep slopes and extensive snowfields throughout most of the year.
The mountain received its name from Lieutenant William Mitchell, who supervised the construction of Alaska's first telegraph system connecting military outposts in 1900.
The peak represents the early developments of military communications in Alaska, marking a period of technological advancement in the northern frontier.
Climbers access the mountain from Richardson Highway, crossing Tsina River before confronting technical challenges that require winter climbing equipment.
The Key to Lisa, a narrow canyon near the mountain, presents specific navigation requirements through vertical walls and changing snow conditions.
