Pointe Walker, Mountain summit on France-Italy border, Mont Blanc massif.
The peak reaches an elevation of 4,208 meters and features a north face rising 1,200 meters above the Leschaux Glacier.
Horace Walker achieved the first ascent of the summit in 1868, accompanied by guides Melchior Anderegg, Johann Jaun, and Julien Grange.
