Mount Kimball (Alaska)
Mount Kimball is the highest mountain in the section of the eastern Alaska Range between Isabel Pass and Mentasta Pass, about 30 miles from Paxson. It is one of the twenty most topographically prominent peaks in Alaska.
Mount Kimball is a relatively difficult climb for a peak with low absolute elevation, due to difficult ridge terrain, and it rebuffed eight climbing attempts by experienced Alaskan mountaineers before its first ascent in 1969. Due to its remoteness, difficulty, and low stature compared to other major Alaskan summits, the peak is not often climbed.
