Mount Swanzy

Mount Swanzy is a 2,891-metre summit in Glacier National Park in British Columbia's Selkirk Mountains, set among the Bonney, Clarke, and Swanzy glaciers near Mount Bonney. Named in 1895 for Reverend Henry Swanzy, it reflects the early exploration of the Selkirks, to which Swanzy and Reverend William Spotswood Green drew wider attention through their 1888 first ascents of Mount Bonney and other peaks. The mountain was first climbed in 1900 by Arthur Michael, Sydney Spencer, Edouard Feuz Sr, and Friedrich Michel. Its name was officially adopted in 1932, preserving its association with the range's pioneering mountaineering era.
