Resplendent Mountain, Mountain summit in Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada
Resplendent Mountain reaches an elevation of 3,425 meters with a glaciated east face and north face emerging from the Robson Glacier system.
The first recorded ascent of the mountain took place in 1911 when climbers Byron Harmon and Conrad Kain explored routes while preparing for Mount Robson.
The mountain received its name from Arthur P. Coleman, inspired by the east side's snow cover that creates bright reflections under sunlight.
Climbers typically access the summit via the Robson-Resplendent Col route, requiring a 29.3-kilometer journey with 2,610 meters of vertical gain.
Peter L. Parson made mountaineering history by completing the first solo ski ascent of Resplendent Mountain in 1930, pioneering winter sports in the area.
