Long Gables

The Long Gables (78°11′S 86°14′W / 78.183°S 86.233°W / -78.183; -86.233) are prominent twin peaks, with heights of 4,150 and 4,110 metres (13,620 and 13,480 ft), joined by a col, with the lower rock exposures being in the form of steep buttresses.

The peaks were discovered by the Marie Byrd Land Traverse party of 1957–58 under Charles R. Bentley,[1] and were named for Jack B.

[2] Jack Long was a member of the Marie Byrd Land Traverse party and a participant in many oversnow traverses and other Antarctic research activities in the following decade.

The south summit of Long Gables (Peak 4111) was climbed for the first time on January 13, 1996, by the French alpinists Erik Decamp and Catherine Destivelle.
