British Columbia mountains

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.
BC's rugged Coast Mountains line the 27,000 km of Pacific coastline, topped by 4,019 m Mt Waddington
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.
The St Elias Mountains in far northern BC include its highest, Mt Fairweather at 4671 m, lying only 20km east of the Pacific Ocean.

Latest climbs

"Windy hike up through the mountain bike trail area before braking in to the tree line above. Some really spectacular friendly ridge walks take you all the way to the summit. PS: don't bother trying to cut across the scree when leaving the summit!" — Jalqazzaz • Oct 3, 2025

"Difficult scramble to Storelk ridge followed by a long difficult ridge walk with lots of ups and downs. Previous (and only one) entry on Elk peak dated back in 2006. Exit via RR peak - Odlum col. The gully from the col is extremely loose, steep and narrow. Rock fall danger is very serious. Going down that gully is better then up so this is the preferred direction for this specific traverse." — antons • Oct 2, 2025

"From summit Walcott Peak, move some straight to Mount Burgess direction, then down and up to find right gully, it is very steep and loose , only recommended two people to avoid hit by rocks. Difficult scramble a well. Transition ledges, difficult and exposed scramble leading to narrow and exposed ridge to summit is the last difficult challenge. Attempt only in dry conditions.
