Pikes Peak (Missouri)
Pikes Peak most likely takes its name from the taller Pikes Peak, in the Rocky Mountains.
The Ascent of Rum Doodle
A small mountain in the Masson Range in Antarctica, near Mawson Station, bears the official name Rumdoodle Peak inspired by this book. A mountainous point in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park in New Zealand is known as Rumdoodle. The northeast ridge of Pikes Peak, in Colorado, has been unofficially nicknamed Rumdoodle Ridge by local climbers. There is a hidden couloir in the Vanoise National Park, also unofficially known as the Rum Doodle, and named by one of the first to discover and ski down it, Will Eaton. So-called as it took a long time to find the entrance, and skiing down it wasn't without complications.
