The Spearhead is a 2,457-metre mountain in British Columbia's Garibaldi Ranges and one of the main summits on the Blackcomb Mountain side of Whistler Blackcomb. Rising at the meeting point of the Blackcomb and Spearhead Glaciers, it gave its name to both the glacier and the nearby Spearhead Range along the north side of Fitzsimmons Creek. The name was officially adopted by the Geographical Names Board of Canada on August 27, 1965. Set in a marine west coast climate shaped by Pacific weather and the Coast Mountains, the peak experiences heavy rain and snow, severe winters, and the best climbing conditions from July to September.
