Warrior Mountain

Warrior Mountain stands on the Alberta–British Columbia border in Height of the Rockies Provincial Park, north of Mount Joffre, with its crest following the Continental Divide and a major watershed boundary. Named in 1917 after HMS Warrior, it was first recorded as climbed in 1930 by Kate (Katie) Gardiner and Walter Feuz, who that year also made first ascents of nearby Mount Sarrail and Mount Lyautey. The mountain is formed from sedimentary rock deposited from the Precambrian to the Jurassic and later thrust eastward over younger rock during the Laramide orogeny. Its subarctic climate brings cold, snowy winters, mild summers, and severe alpine conditions.
