Ingmikortilaq (Greenlandic: The Separate One) is a sea cliff in eastern Greenland. It rises around 3,750 ft (1,140 m) from base to summit.[1] It is best known for Alex Honnold’s and Hazel Findlay's climb of the sea cliff, documented on Arctic Ascent with Alex Honnold.

Ingmikortilaq is located in Nordvestfjord at the toe of the Daugaard-Jensen Glacier. The summit can only be reached by climbing the cliff, with the only known route being the Northeast Ridge.[1]

The sea cliff is made out of gneiss and granite,[1] and is dated to be somewhere around 3 million years old.[2]
