British Columbia mountains

The St Elias Mountains in far northern BC include its highest, Mt Fairweather at 4671 m, lying only 20km east of the Pacific Ocean.
Eastern BC is mountain country... dominated by the breathtaking Canadian Rockies and Columbia Mountains (broken into the Cariboo, Selkirk, Monashee, and Purcell ranges) in the south.
BC's rugged Coast Mountains line the 27,000 km of Pacific coastline, topped by 4,019 m Mt Waddington
75% of British Columbia is mountainous. That's almost 700,000 km2 of mountain terrain, 4 times the size of Great Britain. Mind-blowingly huge.

Latest summits

"I dragged Jeff out to Kootenay NP to attempt Haffner. There was a bit of wishful thinking and a huge amount of physical effort involved in bushwhacking and snowshoeing, but ultimately once we ran into whumpfing and a weak crust in the meadow below the summit push we backed off. Will go back in larch season for this one, I think. Lots of avalanches throughout the day on the slopes, so it's good to play it safe." — leigh-annewebster • May 10, 2019

"Whiteout on Emerald Peak. Took the wrong way to gain the summit ridge and ended up having to do a bit of fun scrambling. A bit tricky up there in the whiteout, had the probe out poking around a bit. Ski down was pretty good until about half way, then bad. " — jakefinnan • Apr 13, 2019

"Bad conditions in the south coulior and low elevation trees, perfect conditions elsewhere with a refresh of 10-15cms of pow on top of supportive base. Skied right off the summit. " — BobbyG • Mar 30, 2019

"24.6km with 1,320m gain in 8:20hrs return from parking. Reasonable -30'C at the parking, it was so motivating that run through the lake in less than 15 minutes and did 3km with 100m gain in just 35mins (not sure if do such pace even in summer). Above 2,400m got surprisingly warm, was just -8 at Bow Hut and -12'C at the summit with no wind at all! Returned to parking just in time, with some clouds rolling in and some light snow later." — alexp • Feb 10, 2019

"a fantastic trip that almost didn't happen. It was -37 C (-45 C with wind) when we left Calgary. - 20 C at the Emerald Lake parking lot. As we started going up, things warmed up rapidly due to an inversion. We spent most of the day at temperatures closer to -12 C. Blue bird skies made the views incredible." — apfelstrudel • Feb 10, 2019
