Nature
Combatant Mountain is a remote 3,762-metre peak in British Columbia’s Waddington Range, near Mount Waddington, and ranks among the highest summits in the Coast Mountains, the province, and Canada. Rising steeply above the Tiedemann Glacier, it stands in a severe ice cap climate that sustains the Chaos, Scimitar, and Tiedemann glaciers. Known in print by at least 1929, the mountain was first climbed in 1933 by Don and Phyllis Munday, Hans Fuhrer, and Henry S. Hall Jr. Don Munday later advanced the name officially adopted in 1950. Its striking form, isolation, glaciated terrain, and steep rock have made it a serious alpine objective in coastal British Columbia.
