'''Mount Kimball''' is the highest mountain in the [Delta Range](/source/Delta_Range), a subrange of the [Alaska Range](/source/Alaska_Range) between [Isabel Pass](/source/Isabel_Pass) and [Mentasta Pass](/source/Mentasta_Pass), about 30 miles from [Paxson](/source/Paxson%2C_Alaska).<ref>{{gnis|1404703}}</ref> It is one of the twenty most [topographically prominent](/source/topographic_prominence) peaks in Alaska.

Mount Kimball is a relatively difficult climb for a peak with low absolute elevation, due to difficult ridge terrain, and it rebuffed eight climbing attempts by experienced Alaskan mountaineers before its first ascent in 1969.<ref name="wood_coombs"/> Due to its remoteness, difficulty, and low stature compared to other major Alaskan summits, the peak is not often climbed.
