Haydon Peak. Barbara Stitt and I reconnoitered the south side of Mount St. Elias in May and June. On June 4, along with the Austrians Hassler and Stüwe, we climbed Haydon Peak (3641 meters, 11,945 feet) via its north face from Haydon Col. We believe that Barbara is the first woman to climb this peak. We also climbed a small unnamed 5000-foot peak just south of Haydon Peak.
