Nature
Mount Weart is a 2,835-metre triple-summit peak in the Garibaldi Ranges of southwestern British Columbia, about 14 kilometres northeast of Whistler. Shaped strongly by ice, it is flanked by the Armchair Glacier on the west and the larger Weart Glacier on the north and east, with runoff draining toward Wedgemount Lake and the Lillooet River system. Mountaineers first knew it as Armchair Mountain or The Armchair. In 1928 it was renamed for John Walter Weart, and the official name was adopted in 1930. The first recorded ascent came in 1932, and climbers today use routes ranging from the Southeast Ridge to steep ridge and ice climbs.
