Grenelle Mountain

Grenelle Mountain is a 3,047-metre glaciated summit in the Waddington Range of British Columbia’s Coast Mountains, north of Campbell River and southeast of Mount Waddington. Known for steep relief and heavy ice cover, it rises sharply above the Tiedemann Glacier and is part of a severe alpine environment shaped by moist Pacific weather, heavy rain and snow, and extreme winter cold. Its runoff reaches Bute Inlet through the Homathko River. The mountain’s name began as Crenelle in 1928, inspired by its battlement-like form, but Grenelle became standard and was formally adopted in 1978. Its first recorded ascent came in July 1950.
