The Innominate (12,761 feet or 3,890 metres) is a mountain peak located in the Bighorn Mountains in the U.S. state of Wyoming.[1] Situated along a knife-like ridge known as an arête, the summit is located in the Cloud Peak Wilderness of Bighorn National Forest. The slightly taller Mount Woolsey is .30 miles (0.48 km) to the northwest. A small glacier lies below the arête to the east.
