Narrative

A prominent peak rising to c. 3,300 m, 1 mi NNE of Mount Crockett and 6 mi SE of Mount Vaughan in the Hays Mountains of the Queen Maud Mountains. The peak was climbed on Nov. 28, 1987, by four members of the USARP-Arizona State University geological party led by Edmund Stump. So named because the ascent was a 20-hour ordeal in technical ice climbing on very steep terrain.
