Southwest of Mount Foraker is a sea of endless mountains and ridges. There is a ton of potential for big alpine routes on numerous rarely climbed and unclimbed peaks. In 2007 and 2008, American alpinist Fred Wilkinson and companions made some significant first ascents in the Yetna Glacier area including The Fin Wall (13,300ft) and Bat Ear (11,044ft), but the area has remained quiet ever since.
