The Marshall is a 3,180-metre summit in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in British Columbia's Canadian Rockies. Named in 1913 by the Interprovincial Boundary Survey for its leading position, it was also once called Centurion Peak, another military-inspired name, before The Marshall was officially adopted in 1924. The first ascent was made in 1919 by Val Fynn and guide Rudolph Aemmer. The mountain consists of Cambrian sedimentary rock formed in shallow seas and later thrust eastward over younger layers during the Laramide orogeny. In a subarctic climate, it has cold snowy winters, mild summers, and slopes that drain into tributaries of the Mitchell River.
