Heinous Peak (85°59′S 154°55′W) is a prominent peak rising to about 3,300 metres (10,800 ft), 1 nautical mile (2 km) north-northeast of Mount Crockett and 6 nautical miles (11 km) southeast of Mount Vaughan in the Hays Mountains of the Queen Maud Mountains, Antarctica. The peak was climbed on November 28, 1987, by four members of the United States Antarctic Research Program – Arizona State University geological party led by Edmund Stump, and was so named because the ascent was a 20-hour ordeal in technical ice climbing on very steep terrain.
