Kahiltna Dome (3 784 m / 12 415 ft)

In 1903 Robert Dunn, a member of Dr. Cook's first Alaskan expedition, named the mountain we call Kahiltna Dome, "Mt. Hunter." When making the map, the surveyor mistakenly placed "Mt. Hunter" on a different mountain 10 miles south and the name stuck leaving the dome at the head of the Kahiltna un-named. Dr. Bradford Washburn first climbed the mountain in 1951 while making the first ascent of Denali's West Buttress route. He reported the name, "Kahiltna Dome" in 1961. "The views from Kahiltna Dome are the best one could have of Denali's West Buttress route," says Washburn.
