'The Great Unknown' & other Mountain Peaks

‘The Great Unknown’ is the name of a mountain in good ol’ New Zealand, in the Southern Alps in NZ’s South Island.
It’s a 2196m mountain. In 1935, John Pascoe named this peak 'The Great Unknown because it was a ‘cornerpost in a welter of the new country’.
And next door to this mountain is another called Little Unknown.

But are some other peculiar names for mountain peaks that you know of?

The mountain peak of the mountain that I can see from my room is called “Franz” here (not the official name but everyone here knows it :joy:) because from one side of the mountain it looks like a face and people said it’s the face of Franz
:joy:
