Middle Triple Peak is the second highest peak in the Kichatna Mountains, a subrange of the Alaska Range in Alaska, United States. It is a striking rock tower, with immense, sheer walls on the east and west sides.
Its East Buttress route (roughly 3,600 feet/1,100 m high) is a classic hard rock climbing route. Due to the remoteness of the range and the usually terrible weather, this peak has seen only a few ascents. The first ascent of the peak was in 1976 by R McLean and C Porter. The first ascent of the East Buttress was also in 1976, by D Black, A Embick, M Graber, and A Long.
