Wedgwood Peak

Wedgwood Peak is a 3,024-metre summit in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in British Columbia's Canadian Rockies, near Lake Magog and Mount Assiniboine. First climbed in 1910 by Katherine Longstaff, her brother Dr. Tom George Longstaff, and guide Rudolph Aemmer, it was named in 1918 by Katherine Longstaff Wedgwood in memory of her husband, Arthur Felix Wedgwood, who was killed in World War I in 1917. Officially recognized as Mount Wedgwood in 1924, it received the name Wedgwood Peak in 1966. Formed of Cambrian sedimentary rock later thrust eastward during the Laramide orogeny, it drains toward both Lake Magog and Wedgwood Creek.
