Mount Invincible

Mount Invincible is a prominent 2,700-metre summit in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in Alberta’s Canadian Rockies, visible from Highway 40 and the Kananaskis Lakes. Named in 1917 for HMS Invincible, lost at the Battle of Jutland in 1916, it reflects Kananaskis’s broader pattern of preserving First World War memory; the name was officially adopted in 1922. The mountain is formed of sedimentary rock deposited from the Precambrian through the Jurassic and later thrust eastward during the Laramide orogeny. In a subarctic climate, its runoff feeds the Kananaskis River, and its recorded climbing history begins with a first ascent in 1957.
