Mount Alberta

Mount Alberta rises to an elevation of 3,619 meters, featuring steep granite faces and multiple climbing routes through the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

The first successful climb of Mount Alberta took place in 1925 by Japanese mountaineers, establishing the challenging Japanese Route on the east face.

The surrounding mountains hold spiritual importance to First Nations communities, who maintain traditional connections to these elevated landscapes through generations.

Climbers need advanced mountaineering skills and proper equipment to attempt Mount Alberta's routes, which involve technical climbing and river crossings.

The mountain's location near the Columbia Icefield creates specific weather patterns that frequently generate sudden storms and temperature changes at higher elevations.
