North Twin, Mountain peak in Jasper National Park, Canada
North Twin reaches an elevation of 3,684 meters, making it the third highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies and the highest peak within Alberta.
The first recorded ascent occurred in 1923 when guide Conrad Kain led climbers W.S. Ladd and J.M. Thorington to successfully reach the summit via the East Face.
Pioneer mountaineer Norman Collie named the mountain in 1898 after observing it and its companion South Twin from the summit of Mount Athabasca.
Climbers access North Twin from the Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre on Highway 93, establishing a base camp near the col between North Twin and Stutfield Peak.
The north face of North Twin drops over 1,500 meters to the Athabasca River and has been climbed by only four parties since its first recorded ascent.
