Mount Outram

Nature
Mount Outram is a 2,461-metre peak in southwestern British Columbia’s Canadian Cascades, southeast of Hope. The fourth-highest summit in the Hozameen Range and highest point of Manson Ridge, it drains into tributaries of the Coquihalla and Skagit rivers. Once known as Beaver Mountain, it was officially renamed for Sir James Outram in 1936; its first recorded ascent had come in 1924. The mountain is tied geologically to the Chilliwack batholith and the broader Pemberton Volcanic Belt, while Pleistocene glaciation helped carve its rugged North Cascades terrain. Known for severe Pacific-driven weather, it is also noted for rich arctic flora and established climbing routes.
