Mount Assiniboine, Alpine summit in Canadian Rockies, Canada.
Mount Assiniboine rises 3,618 meters above sea level, forming a pyramidal peak on the border between Alberta and British Columbia provinces.
George M. Dawson named the mountain in 1885 after observing clouds around its peak that reminded him of smoke from Assiniboine indigenous settlements.
The mountain represents a significant natural landmark for both Alberta and British Columbia residents, standing as a symbol of Canadian mountaineering heritage.
The summit requires a 27-kilometer journey by foot or horseback, as no direct road access exists to reach the mountain base.
The first solo climb of Mount Assiniboine was completed by Lawrence Grassi in 1925, establishing a new standard for alpine mountaineering.
