Mount Bell

Mount Bell is a steep, heavily glaciated peak in British Columbia’s remote Waddington Range of the Coast Mountains, northwest of Vancouver and near Mount Waddington. Its slopes are bordered by several glaciers and drain into tributaries of the Klinaklini River, while its summit rises sharply above Bell Creek, giving it a dramatic local profile. Named in 1928 by Don Munday for Dr. Frederick C. Bell, a founding member and later president of the Alpine Club of Canada, the mountain was first recorded as climbed in 1936. Its marine west coast climate brings heavy precipitation, deep winter snow, and intense cold that sustain its surrounding glaciers.
