Mount Biddle

Mount Biddle is a prominent 3,320-metre summit in the Park Ranges of the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia, overlooking the Lake O'Hara area of Yoho National Park near Lake McArthur. Named in 1894 by Samuel E. S. Allen for Anthony Joseph Drexel Biddle, it was characterized by Allen as a vast wall-like mountain whose north side seemed nearly impossible to climb, and he also estimated its height higher than later measurements showed. Its south shoulder includes Curtis Peak. The mountain's first ascent came in 1903 by August S. Eggers and Herschel C. Parker with guides Christian Kaufmann and Hans Kaufmann, securing its place in the region's early climbing history.
