North Twin Peak

North Twin is the higher of the two main summits of The Twins massif at the northeast corner of the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park, Alberta, and ranks as the third-highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Named as part of The Twins in 1898 by J. Norman Collie and Hugh M. Stutfield, it received its separate official summit name in 1980. First climbed on July 10, 1923, by W.S. Ladd, J.M. Thorington, and Conrad Kain, it is climbed today by an eastern ski mountaineering route. It is especially renowned for its immense, difficult north face, one of the major alpine walls in the Canadian Rockies.
