Asperity Mountain

Nature
Asperity Mountain is a 3,723-metre peak in British Columbia’s Waddington Range, rising in a rugged setting between the Tellot Glacier on the north and the Tiedemann Glacier on the south, above the Homathko River gorge on its eastern side. Its name, meaning roughness or unevenness of surface, suits a summit recognized as a fine, high, sharp peak, with a rocky south face and an icefall descending northward from the Radiant Glacier. Mount Tiedemann stands to the west and the Serra Peaks to the east. Though the name became official in 1978, Don Munday had used it by 1929.
