Mount Sedgwick

Mount Sedgwick is a 2,082-metre peak in British Columbia’s Tantalus Range near Squamish. First climbed in 1909 by H. Dowler, it was later officially named for Adam Sedgwick, a 19th-century geologist regarded as one of modern geology’s founders. The mountain is also a local drainage divide, with runoff on its western side feeding tributaries of the Clowhom River and water on its eastern side flowing into Mill Creek and Howe Sound. Set in the Coast Mountains’ marine west coast climate, it receives heavy precipitation and winter snow, with severe cold and wind chill, while July through September usually offer the best climbing conditions.
