South Twin, Mountain peak in Jasper National Park, Canada
South Twin rises to an elevation of 3,566 meters, forming part of The Twins massif at the northeastern corner of the Columbia Icefield in Alberta.
The mountain received its official name in 1980, following the initial naming of The Twins massif by explorers J. Norman Collie and Hugh M. Stutfield in 1898.
Fred V. Field and Edward Feuz Jr completed the first recorded ascent of South Twin on July 8, 1924, establishing a route through the challenging terrain.
Climbers access South Twin from the Icefield Parkway, crossing the Athabasca Glacier and navigating through complex glacial formations to reach the summit.
The mountain ranks as the ninth highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, featuring a connecting ridge to North Twin that requires technical ice climbing skills.
