Bashful Peak

Bashful Peak is an 8,005-foot mountain in Alaska's Chugach State Park, the park's highest summit and the highest point in the Municipality of Anchorage. Snow remains on the mountain throughout the year, and small glaciers hang on its steep western face. Members of the Mountaineering Club of Alaska named it in 1958 because it was often hidden by surrounding peaks, ridges, or clouds. Although it is a prominent summit, it attracts few visitors because climbing it is difficult, with challenges including height, loose rock, remoteness, exposure, and unpredictable Chugach weather. Climbers generally approach from Eklutna Lake and ascend by the southern ridge.
