Nature
Rostrum Peak is a 3,284-metre summit in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia and the highest point of the Bush Mountain massif. Named in 1918 for its resemblance to a rostrum and officially adopted in 1924, it was first recorded as climbed in 1936 by W.N.M. Hogg with guide Christian Hasler Jr. The mountain consists of sedimentary rock deposited from the Precambrian to the Jurassic in shallow seas, then thrust eastward over younger rock during the Laramide orogeny. In a subarctic climate, it has cold, snowy winters, mild summers, and runoff that drains into tributaries of the Valenciennes River.
