Teakettle Mountain, Mountain summit in Sneffels Range, Colorado, United States.
Teakettle Mountain rises to 13,819 feet with steep rocky slopes and a distinctive summit block formation against the Colorado sky.
The mountain received its name from early mountaineers who observed the summit's natural rock formation resembling a teapot with handle and spout.
Local climbing communities gather annually at Teakettle Mountain to test their technical skills on various routes through the volcanic rock formations.
Access to the mountain requires driving 7.7 miles from Ouray on County Road 361 to reach the Yankee Boy Basin trailhead parking area.
The mountain features three primary climbing routes: Southeast Ridge, South Face, and North Couloir, each demanding different technical climbing abilities.
