Blanshard Peak, Mountain summit in Golden Ears Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.
Blanshard Peak rises to 1550 meters in elevation, featuring steep rock walls and a distinctive needle-like formation at its southern end point.
The first successful climb of Blanshard Peak took place in 1918 when climbers P. James, Don Munday, and M. Worsley reached the summit.
The peak carries the name of the first governor of Vancouver Island colony, representing British Columbia's connection to its colonial past.
The ascent requires technical climbing skills to navigate 30 meters of fifth-class terrain, followed by fourth-class scrambling sections to reach the top.
Local mountaineers distinguish this formation as The Blanshard Needle, marking it as a separate entity from the larger Golden Ears massif.
