King Peak (Yukon)

Situated just west of Mount Logan (highest in Canada), in Yukon, it is considered a satellite peak of the massive mountain.

Russell Alston Paige, Keith Hart, Elton Thayer and Bill Atwood walked to the Ogilvie Glacier at the foot of Quartz Ridge where the majority of their supplies had been air dropped.

After waiting two days for a storm to subside, Hart and Thayer set out for the summit while Atwood remained in camp due to a knee injury.

After struggling with rock towers and icy crests, they reached the top on June 6, 1952.

Schoening returned the next day with Dick McGowan and Bill Niendorff to complete the third ascent.
