Mount Prince Henry

Mount Prince Henry is a 3,219-metre peak in Height of the Rockies Provincial Park in British Columbia’s Canadian Rockies, within the remote Royal Group of royalty-named mountains. Named in 1913 for Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and formally adopted in 1919, it was first recorded as climbed in 1929 by Kate Gardiner and guide Walter Feuz. The mountain is composed of Cambrian sedimentary rock laid down in shallow seas and later uplifted during the Laramide orogeny, reflecting the geologic forces that shaped this part of the Rockies. Its subarctic climate brings long snowy winters, mild summers, and a short climbing season from July through September.
