Mount Outram

Mount Outram is a 3,245-metre peak in Banff National Park's Howse River Valley, near Glacier Lake and below the Sir James Glacier. Named in 1920 for mountaineer and guidebook writer James Outram, known for notable first ascents in the Canadian Rockies, it was first recorded as climbed in 1924 by F.V. Field, W.O. Field, and L. Harris with guides Edward Feuz Jr. and J. Biner, and its name was officially adopted that year. Formed from sedimentary rock laid down from Precambrian to Jurassic time and later thrust upward during the Laramide orogeny, it stands in a subarctic climate with runoff feeding tributaries of the Howse River.
