Joffre Peak

Joffre Peak is a prominent glaciated mountain in southwestern British Columbia's Coast Mountains, within Joffre Lakes Provincial Park. Though second highest in the Joffre Group, it is especially notable for its steep relief, rising about 1,500 metres above Cayoosh Creek in only 4 kilometres. Its landscape is shaped by the Matier and Anniversary glaciers, and its runoff feeds streams in the Fraser River watershed. First climbed on July 19, 1957, by Dick Chambers and Paddy Sherman of the British Columbia Mountaineering Club, it was named for its location at the head of Joffre Creek and ultimately honors French commander Marshal Joseph Joffre.
