Mount Ulysses

Mount Ulysses, Mountain summit in British Columbia, Canada

Mount Ulysses is a mountain summit in the Muskwa Ranges that rises to 3024 meters. Its steep sides display varied rock formations that tell the story of the region's geology.

The first ascent was made on 16 August 1961 by L. Scott Arighi, Arthur Maki and Robert West of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The summit was officially named on 19 December 1961 on a suggestion by Robert West, after Ulysses of Homer's Odyssey; nearby peaks carry the names Penelope, Telemachus, Helen, Eurylochus and Circe, with Ithaca Glacier north of the summit and Achaeans Glacier to the east.

The peak's name comes from Homer's Odyssey: Robert West suggested it, and it was made official on 19 December 1961. Neighbouring features follow the same theme, including Mount Penelope, Mount Telemachus, Mount Helen, Mount Euryalus, Mount Circe and Cyclopes Peak, with Ithaca Glacier north of the summit and Achaeans Glacier to the east.

The nearest road lies about 50 km east, so the approach is long. The northwest ridge is reached via the Ithaque Glacier, the east ridge via the northeast icefield, and the southwest ridge stays fairly flat to 2,800 m; all three steepen sharply above that height. The northeast slope borders Redfern-Keily Provincial Park.

Mount Ulysses is the parent-name anchor of an Odyssey-themed cluster: nearby are Mount Penelope, Mount Telemachus, Mount Helen, Mount Eurycleia, Mount Circe and Cyclops Peak, with Ithaca Glacier north of the summit and Achaeans Glacier to the east. The naming followed a suggestion by Robert West, one of the first climbers.
