Mount Swiderski

Mount Swiderski is a 3,133-metre summit in southeastern British Columbia on the boundary of Height of the Rockies and Elk Lakes provincial parks, within the Italian Group of the Canadian Rockies. It is notable for steep relief, rising more than 1,500 metres above the White River in just two kilometres, with drainage split between the White River and the Elk River system, and an unnamed glacier below its north and east faces. Formed from Cambrian sedimentary rock later uplifted during the Laramide orogeny, it was officially named in 1964 for Royal Canadian Air Force Flight Sergeant Alexander Swiderski, killed in 1942, and was first recorded climbed in 2005.
