Nature
Monarch Mountain is a prominent summit in the Pacific Ranges of southern British Columbia, rising in a remote, heavily glaciated part of Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park near the divide between the Klinaklini and Atnarko river systems. It is surrounded by the Monarch Icefield, the northernmost major icefield in the Pacific Ranges, with the larger Ha-Iltzuk Icefield immediately to the south. The mountain’s ice cap climate reflects the permanently cold, icy conditions that shape this landscape. Its first recorded ascent came on 16 July 1936, when Henry Snow Hall Jr. and Hans Fuhrer reached the summit.
