A prominent summit, 3,730 metres (12,240 ft) high, on Johns Hopkins Ridge, standing 1.7 nautical miles (3.1 km; 2.0 mi) northwest of Mount Rücker.

A high spur descending east from pointed Mount Rücker and forming the divide between Radian and Walcott Glaciers.

Intense and intricate folds interlock like a jigsaw puzzle in the marble wall forming the eastern side of this gully.

A band of extremely hard pyritized shale is exposed in the saddle/pass, and when hit by a hammer the rock gives off a characteristic sulphurous smell.
