Mount Macbeth is a 2,639-metre glaciated summit in British Columbia’s Spearhead Range, in Garibaldi Provincial Park southeast of Whistler. Surrounded by the Naden, Macbeth, and Curtain glaciers, it sheds runoff into Fitzsimmons Creek, a tributary of the Cheakamus River, and stands in a marine west coast climate marked by heavy Pacific precipitation, deep winter snow, and severe cold. An Alpine Club of Canada party named the peak in 1964 for the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s birth, and the name was officially adopted in 1965. First climbed in 1969 by the northeast ridge, it is now commonly visited on the Spearhead Traverse, with several established climbing routes.
