The unofficial(?) name of this peak in Alaska is apparently Shakuseyi Peak:

Yes, Bivouac has thousands of unofficial names that won't be reflected here. Non-governmental websites don't qualify as sources for unofficial names on LoJ.

I see. I'm not a member of bivouac.com and am not sure how common the unofficial name is. I wasn't aware of it until someone from Alaska (Steve Gruhn) pointed it out to me when I created an SP page on the mountain. Conversation:

I have heard this peak called Peak 3920 or Seven Mile Saddle Peak by locals in Haines, but never by the name referenced at bivouac.com. Bivouac.com names unnamed peaks by using a nearby name of something else such as a creek, lake, or body of water.
