Mount Hayes is the highest mountain in the eastern Alaska Range. Despite not being a fourteener, it is one of the largest peaks in the United States in terms of rise above local terrain. For example, the Northeast Face rises 8,000 feet (2,440 m) in approximately 2 miles (3.2 km). In terms of topographic prominence, Mount Hayes is number 51 in the world.[2]
Mount Hayes was first climbed in 1941 by Bradford Washburn, Barbara Washburn,[3] Benjamin Ferris, Sterling Hendricks, Henry Hall, and William Shand.[4] Today's standard route is the East Ridge (Alaska Grade 2+). Mount Hayes is not frequently climbed due to its remoteness and the resulting access difficulties.[citation needed]
