History of Mount Doonerak

Named in 1929 by Marshall (1956,p.22). He wrote, "I called it 'Mattehorn of the Koyukuk.' Later I renamed it 'Doonerak.' The name 'Doonerak' I took from an Eskimo word which means 'a spirit', or, as they would translate it, 'a devil.'" It was first climbed June 30, 1952 by G. W. Beadle, Gunnar Bergman, and Alfred Tissieres. (Farguhar, 1959, p. 218)
