Mount Priestley

Mount Priestley rises above the Nass Valley in northwestern British Columbia near Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park, where the rugged Kitimat Ranges meet a striking volcanic landscape. Reaching 2,366 metres with 1,945 metres of topographic prominence, it is an ultra-prominent peak whose distinct rise gives it unusual visual dominance and makes it one of the area's more significant summits. Despite that prominence, the mountain remained little climbed until its first known ascent on June 20, 2017, when John Gill, Jordan Craven, and Drew Copeland reached the summit by the east ridge during a four-day expedition from the park.
