Mount Monashee, a 3,274-metre summit in British Columbia, is the highest and culminating peak of the Monashee Mountains at 10,741 feet. It was first climbed in 1952 by Arnold Wexler, Sterling Hendricks, and Donald Hubbard during an expedition that also achieved the first ascents of Mount Hallam and Dominion Mountain and discovered a new route up Mount Lempriere. The mountain also served as the type locality for the Monashees American pika, a formerly recognized subspecies of American pika that lost its distinct status in 2010 after research found mingling among pika populations in British Columbia.
