Feature type: Peak
This name originates from United States of America. It is part of the and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
The feature is located in Queen Alexandra Range, west of Grindley Plateau, south of Wahl Glacier, and approximately 2 miles north of Levi Peak. Dolerite blankets the slopes as thin scree that has a rich brown color reminiscent of compost. The peak was a destination point on a flagged route for members of the Central Transantarctic Mountains (CTAM) camp during the 2010-2011 field season on Bowden Névé (q.v.). The route had been flagged early in the season by mountaineers and the peak received many visitors from the camp. The name became established in common use as a necessary reference. The rock is sandstone of Buckley Formation with dikes and sills of Ferrar dolerite (forms well-exposed cliffs along the length of the Transantarctic Mountains).
