Aello Peak, Mountain summit in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska
Aello Peak rises to 4,402 meters in elevation, featuring a southern face that drops 2,130 meters over a distance of 1.6 kilometers.
The first mountaineering expedition reached the summit in 1967 through a team including Benton, Boulton, Hagihara, Matsumoto, McBee, Ono, Randall, and Staley.
The mountain received its name from Greek mythology, specifically from one of the Harpies, reflecting the connection between landscape and ancient stories.
Climbers approaching Aello Peak need extensive preparation for extreme weather conditions, technical climbing requirements, and navigation challenges in this remote location.
The mountain stands as part of The Twaharpies group, presenting one of North America's major climbing faces with its dramatic vertical relief.
