Devils Paw
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Distinguish". Template:Redirect-distinguish Template:Infobox mountain
Devils Paw (or Devil's Paw, or Boundary Peak 93) is the high point of the Juneau Icefield, on the Alaska–British Columbia border. It is a part of the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains. It is notable for its steep rise above the low local terrain. Its height is sometimes given as Template:Convert[1].
Devils Paw is located on the northeast side of the Juneau Icefield, and its north slopes feed Tulsequah Lake and the Tulsequah Glacier. Its south slope forms the head of the picturesquely-named "Hades Highway", which is the eastern extremity of the Icefield.
To illustrate the steepness of the peak: the north face drops Template:Convert in approximately Template:Convert, and the southeast side drops Template:Convert in about Template:Convert.
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Devils Paw is located in a subpolar oceanic climate zone, with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool summers.[1] Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C.
