Nature
Overlord Mountain is a 2,625-metre glacier-clad peak in Garibaldi Provincial Park in southwestern British Columbia, the highest point of the Fitzsimmons Range and a prominent summit visible from the Whistler Blackcomb ski area. Its south, east, north, and west sides are shaped by the Benvolio, Fitzsimmons, and Overlord glaciers, whose meltwater feeds tributaries of the Cheakamus River. Phyllis Munday and Don Munday first climbed the mountain in 1923 by way of the Benvolio Glacier, and the name was officially adopted on September 2, 1930. The mountain’s marine west coast climate brings heavy precipitation, severe cold, and a short climbing season that is generally best from July to September.
