Mount Andromeda

Mount Andromeda is a prominent mountain in Alberta’s Columbia Icefield, on the boundary between Banff and Jasper national parks and visible from the Icefields Parkway near Sunwapta Pass. Named in 1938 by Rex Gibson, former president of the Alpine Club of Canada, it takes its name from Andromeda, wife of Perseus in Greek mythology. The mountain became well regarded in climbing literature for being conspicuous, relatively accessible from the Icefields campground, and offering several mountaineering routes. Among these, the Skyladder emerged as the normal and especially popular glacier route, helping establish the peak as a favored objective for climbers.
