Mount RichthofenMount Richthofen is the highest summit of the Never Summer Mountains range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. Today, the mountain is typically climbed from Lake Agnes to the north, easily reachable from Cameron Pass. The mountain is a steep Class 3 climb that often requires travel on steep scree slopes that are not very stable. The mountain was named in honor of pioneering German geologist Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen, apparently by Clarence King's 1870 survey team.

Mount MahlerMount Mahler is a mountain in the Never Summer Mountains in United States. Mahler's east ridge provides a challenging class 4 route over steep and sometimes loose terrain. Mahler's north face provides a relatively easy and monotonous class 2 slog up a long talus slope. Climbing Point 11,960 along with Mount Mahler would make an excellent loop hike. To do this, descend Mount Mahler to the west down the ridge.
