Mount Abbott

Mount Abbott rises in Glacier National Park in British Columbia near Rogers Pass, west of the Asulkan Creek drainage, in a region closely tied to railway history and early mountaineering in the Columbia Mountains. Named for Canadian Pacific Railway superintendent Harry Braithwaite Abbott, the peak was first recorded as climbed in 1888 by William Spotswood Green and Henry Swanzy during the Selkirks' early exploration. Its usual route is considered a relatively easy scramble, which has made it notable not just for its dramatic setting but also for being more accessible than many nearby technical peaks.
