Nature
Wedge Mountain is the highest summit in the Garibaldi Ranges and Garibaldi Provincial Park in British Columbia, rising 2,895 metres and standing out prominently from the Whistler Blackcomb area. Named in 1932 for its distinctive shape, it belongs to an unnamed northern group that includes Mount Weart and Mount Currie. Access commonly begins with a steep 6-kilometre hike to Wedgemount Lake, below the glacier and summit, with climbing routes including the demanding Northeast Arete and the South Face. Its marine west coast climate brings heavy winter rain and snow, and the glacier above Wedgemount Lake has visibly retreated since the early 1970s.
