Mount Pelops is a 2,015-metre peak in the Tantalus Range of southwestern British Columbia, within Tantalus Provincial Park near Squamish. First climbed in 1916 by Tom and John Fyles, it takes its name from Greek mythology, matching a family-based naming pattern shared by nearby peaks such as Tantalus and Niobe. The name was officially adopted on June 6, 1957, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. In the marine west coast climate of the Coast Mountains, the mountain receives heavy precipitation, endures severe winter cold, and still holds small glacier remnants on its east and north slopes. Established climbing routes include the North Side, Southeast Ridge, and East Face.
