Yak Peak

Yak Peak is a granite mountain in British Columbia beside the Coquihalla Highway north of Hope, standing unusually close to the road and visible from a long stretch just south of the summit. Known locally for granite rock climbing, especially the route called Yak Crack, it is part of the Anderson River Group, also known as the Coquihalla Range, where several nearby summits have animal-themed names such as Thar Peak and Guanaco Peak. In the marine west coast climate of western North America, Pacific weather brings heavy precipitation, snowy winters, and temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius, making July through September the most favorable climbing season.
