Mount Celeste

Mount Celeste is an unofficially named mountain in Strathcona Provincial Park on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Rising at the north end of Rees Ridge, opposite Iceberg Peak at the south end, it shares its name with two other peaks in British Columbia’s Cariboo region. Its first recorded ascent was made by Jack Horbury and Jock Sutherland on August 18, 1934, giving it a place in the climbing history of Strathcona Park. The mountain also gained wider cultural recognition as the inspiration for the 2018 platform game Celeste, whose protagonist, Madeline, climbs a fictionalized version of the peak.
