King Peak

This behemoth is North America's ninth highest peak and Canada's fourth highest. William King, a commissioner of the International Boundary Commission and director of the Dominion Observatory, is the mountain's name. This mountain, which is located in Yukon Territory, is extremely frigid and unfriendly, which is likely one of the reasons it has only been climbed three times.

In 1952, four University of Alaska students became the first to summit Kings Peak. Their supplies were airdropped near the Ogilvie glacier, which was the starting point for their ascent of the peak. Their journey was hampered by a two-day snowstorm, which tragically resulted in one of the climbers sustaining a knee injury. He was unable to reach the top as a result of this, but his friends were able to complete the expedition while he remained in camp.
