Nature
Mount Maude stands on the Alberta-British Columbia border along the Continental Divide in the Canadian Rockies, rising about 2,868 metres above sea level. Named in 1918 for Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Stanley Maude, the British commander associated with the capture of Baghdad in the First World War, it was first recorded as climbed in 1922 by G. R. Adams. The mountain and its surroundings remain largely natural, with uncultivated land and intact vegetation. Though uninhabited, it can be climbed by hiking and route-finding, including icy sections, in a severe climate marked by mild mountain summers and very cold winters.
