Stutfield Peak

Stutfield Peak is a mountain on the northern edge of the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park. It features two rounded summits that remain snow-covered through much of the year.

The peak was named in 1899 by mountaineer J. Norman Collie in honor of his climbing partner Hugh Stutfield. The first recorded ascent took place in 1927 when two climbers reached the summit.

The mountain received its name in 1899 from mountaineer J. Norman Collie to honor Hugh Stutfield, his companion during Canadian Rockies explorations.

Climbing this peak requires advanced mountaineering skills and specialized gear for high-altitude terrain. Plan to visit between July and September when snow conditions are most favorable for ascents.

The mountain's western face drops sharply and frames the distinctive Black Hole formation beneath Twins Tower's northern slope. This creates a memorable visual landmark when viewed from certain angles in the region.
