| This peak is #18 on the Height List for Alaska . This peak is #63 in Prominence List for Alaska . This peak is #16 on the Height List for Yukon Territory . This peak is #15 in Prominence List for Yukon Territory . Mount Augusta sits on the Yukon-Alaska border, with its northern slopes dropping off onto Seward Glacier. It's at the eastern end of the coastal range that begins with Mount Saint Elias on the west, and goes eastward. Parties have landed on the Seward Glacier south of Mount Logan's Hummingbird Ridge (N 60:26 W140:25) and from there made easy access of Augusta in 6-7 days. The route of the original ascent in 1952 was via the North Ridge. A second ascent by Don Serl and party in 1987 was made by starting up the north Ridge, then traversing over to the crest of the west ridge.
