Mount Columbia
Mount Columbia is the highest point in Alberta and the second-highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, rising at the northern edge of the Columbia Icefield on the Alberta-British Columbia border. It is a serious, remote glaciated mountaineering objective rather than a hike: the standard East Face route is a non-technical but crevasse-riddled glacier climb requiring a long approach across the Athabasca Glacier, while the North Ridge offers a genuinely technical mixed alpine alternative. This is a distinct, far more demanding peak from the popular Colorado 14er of the same name.
