This name originates from United States of America. It is part of the United States Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
A turret-like rock knob (1,990 m) in Queen Alexandra Range, standing 1.5 mi NW of Fairchild Peak, just S of the mouth of Tillite Glacier. So named by the Ohio State University geology party (1966-67) because the only safe route to Tillite Glacier lies between this rock and Fairchild Peak.
