It's interesting that you highlight the accomplishments of Gerry Roach, but completely omit mention of Dave Hart and Paul Barry, who have climbed the 22 highest peaks in Alaska and Canada, many of which are in the Saint Elias Mountains. I also find it interesting that you list air charter outfits like Copper Valley Air, but completely omit mention of Ultima Thule Outfitters, which flies the vast majority of climbers on the U.S. side of the Saint Elias Mountains. You might also want to mention Fly Drake for approaches from the southeastern side of the range.
You might want to read up a little bit on climbs in this neck of the woods. Take a read through the American Alpine Journals for a start.
Also, Mount Churchill does not have 1,500 feet of prominence; its prominence is closer to 1,188 feet. Macaulay and Kennedy also don't have 1,500 feet of prominence. Thus, they don't warrant inclusion on your list. If you're looking for others to add to the list to take their place, consider Ocypete Peak, Mount Natazhat, and Mount Tressider.
Also, Mount Hubbard is on the border with Alaska, so you might want to mention that, rather than merely listing its location in YT.
And how do you account for your claim that Mount Saint Elias is the second highest peak in the U.S. while Mount Bona is the fifth? The only U.S. peak with a summit elevation between that of Mount Saint Elias and that of Mount Bona is Mount Foraker.
I don't mean to be so critical, but there's just a lot of inaccurate information on this page.
Side scrolling is required and I know my browser is set to wider than many others. I would bet it's the two photos up top and maybe the table. Otherwise a good page overall.
