Located north of the headwaters of the Akie River and to the south of Sikanni Chief Lake,^[5] its very high prominence of 2,289 m (7,510 ft) is relative to Grand Pacific Pass, with its parent peak being an unnamed summit in the Fairweather Range, near Mount Fairweather.^[1]

It was first climbed in 1961.^[5]
