Peak 8010 is a remote summit in Alaska’s Chugach Mountains within Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Though its name is simply descriptive, its 6,110-foot topographic prominence makes it one of the most prominent peaks in the United States, ranking 58th nationally. Its climbing history remains uncertain: it may have been first climbed in 2007, but some accounts place the first ascent in 2020. That unresolved record, combined with its location in one of the nation’s largest protected landscapes, gives the mountain an unusually little-documented character even by Alaskan standards.
