Nature
Deltaform Mountain rises on the Continental Divide in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, on the border of Alberta and British Columbia and between Banff and Kootenay national parks. In 1897 Walter Wilcox named it Deltaform because its shape suggested the Greek letter delta; Samuel Allen had earlier called it Saknowa. The peak was first climbed in 1903 by August Eggers and Herschel Clifford Parker with guides Christian and Hans Kaufmann. Known climbing lines include the North-West Ridge and the steeper North Face Supercouloir. Like many Canadian Rockies peaks, it consists of ancient sedimentary rock later thrust eastward during the Laramide orogeny.
