The Rooster Comb

The Rooster Comb is a 10,180 ft multi-peak mountain located in the Alaska Range, in Denali National Park and Preserve, in the U.S. state of Alaska. It is situated 4,000 feet above the Ruth Glacier along the southwest margin of the Don Sheldon Amphitheater, 8.53 mi southeast of Denali, 2 mi east of Mount Huntington, and 2.4 mi southeast of Mount Kudlich. The mountain's descriptive name was submitted by Bradford Washburn in 1957 based on an original description by Claude Ewing Rusk during his 1910 Mazama Expedition: "To our west was a remarkable mountain, rising abruptly from the snowfields to a height of at least 10,000 feet, its tip a succession of corniced spires, like a great rooster comb."
