Mount Woolley

Mount Woolley rises in Alberta's Sunwapta River Valley within Jasper National Park, in the Winston Churchill Range of the Canadian Rockies south of Diadem Peak. J. Norman Collie named it in 1898 for Herman Woolley, who climbed with him during expeditions in the Rockies. The mountain's first recorded ascent came in 1925, when a Japanese team and their guides reached the summit shortly after making the first ascent of Mount Alberta. Mount Woolley is formed of sedimentary rock deposited from the Precambrian to the Jurassic in shallow seas, then thrust eastward over younger layers during the Laramide orogeny, helping shape the Canadian Rockies.
