Mount Waddington, Mountain summit in Coast Range, British Columbia, Canada.
Mount Waddington reaches an elevation of 4,019 meters, making it the highest peak in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia.
Fritz Wiessner and William House achieved the first recorded ascent of Mount Waddington in 1936 after numerous unsuccessful attempts by other climbers.
The mountain received its original name Mystery Mountain due to its distance from populated areas and the difficulties early surveyors faced in confirming its existence.
Helicopter services from Tatla Lake provide access to the mountain base during the climbing season between July and early September.
The northeast face presents an 800-meter vertical challenge combining sections of rock, snow, and ice that requires advanced mountaineering techniques.
