Wenkchemna Peak

Wenkchemna Peak, Mountain summit at British Columbia and Alberta border, Canada.

Wenkchemna Peak is a 3,206-metre summit on the Continental Divide, which forms the Alberta–British Columbia border here. It is the tenth peak in the Valley of the Ten Peaks as numbered left to right from Moraine Lake, and an extension into the valley of the ridge formed by Mount Hungabee and Ringrose Peaks. The peak is composed of sedimentary rock laid down in shallow seas from the Precambrian to Jurassic periods and pushed east over younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.

Samuel E. S. Allen named the peak in 1894, taking the Stoney word for "ten" because it is the tenth summit in the Valley of the Ten Peaks. The first ascent was made in 1923 by F.C. Bell, A.W. Drinnan, H. Herriot, T.B. Moffat, R. Neil, E. Thompson, R. Williams and Christian Hasler Jr.

Samuel E. S. Allen, an early European explorer of the area, named the peak in 1894 using the Stoney word for "ten". He gave the peaks of the Valley of the Ten Peaks numbers from one to ten in the Stoney language, according to their position as seen from Moraine Lake. Wenkchemna is the tenth peak in that left-to-right sequence.

Climbing this peak requires advanced mountaineering skills and careful planning, particularly due to extreme cold with temperatures often dropping below -20°C (-4°F). Weather and snow conditions should be checked daily before attempting the ascent.

Wenkchemna Peak is the tenth summit in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, counted left to right as seen from Moraine Lake. Samuel E. S. Allen named it in 1894 using the Stoney word for ten, part of a set numbered one to ten in that language.
