Barbette Mountain

Barbette Mountain is a 3,072-metre summit in the Canadian Rockies on the Alberta British Columbia border, standing on the Continental Divide at the edge of Banff National Park in the Waputik Mountains. Its striking relief lifts the summit about 1,750 metres above the Blaeberry Valley in 6 kilometres, and its waters drain both west to the Blaeberry River system and east to tributaries of the Mistaya River. Named in 1918 for its two platform-like peaks and officially adopted in 1924, it was first climbed in 1933 by Henry S. Kingman, J. Monroe Thorington, and guide Conrad Kain. Sedimentary rock, glacial ice, and a subarctic climate define its character.
