Nature
Adamant Mountain is a remote 3,345-metre peak in British Columbia, the highest point of the Adamant Range and the fourth-highest summit in the Selkirks. Heavily glaciated, it is surrounded by major icefields and glaciers, and its steep relief rises sharply above nearby creek and lake valleys. Meltwater and runoff from its slopes feed tributaries of the Columbia River. First climbed on June 26, 1912, it later gained climbing renown through the first ascent of its South Buttress in 1973, a demanding route later favored by Fred Beckey. Its name was officially adopted in 1924, and its subarctic climate helps sustain the surrounding ice.
