Beaver Mountain

Beaver Mountain is a 3,212-metre summit in British Columbia's Battle Range of the Selkirk Mountains, near the head of the Beaver River and bordering Glacier National Park. Though remote, it is notable for its dramatic local relief, rising about 1,600 metres above Butters Creek in only 3 kilometres. Its waters drain north to the Beaver River and south to Butters Creek, a tributary of the Duncan River. Named in August 1890 by Harold Ward Topham with Emil Huber and Carl Sultzer, it was officially adopted in 1904. The first recorded ascent came in 1913, and its severe subarctic climate supports the Duncan Névé, Beaver Glacier, and smaller southern glaciers.
