Nature
Mount Fable, in Alberta, Canada, is part of the Fairholme Range and was first climbed in 1947 by L. Parker, R.C. Hind, and J.F. Tarrant. Its name originated with that ascent party, who chose “Fable” because an earlier unsuccessful attempt had been blamed on heavy bush. They treated that explanation as a doubtful tale, and the mountain’s name preserved their view of it as a fable.
