Howse Peak
Howse Peak is the highest mountain in the Waputik Mountains, a subrange of the Canadian Rockies. It is located west of the Icefields Parkway, above Chephren Lake, on the continental divide between Alberta and British Columbia. It is the 46th highest peak in Alberta, and the 59th highest in British Columbia. Howse Peak's name comes from Howse Pass, which lies to the west. The pass was named by David Thompson, after the Hudson's Bay Company trader Joseph Howse, who crossed the pass in 1809. (Thompson had actually crossed the pass two years earlier.) Howse Peak is a dramatic mountain, rising over above both the Mistaya River to the east and Howse Pass to the west, in only a few horizontal kilometres.〔''Map of Bow Lake and Saskatchewan Crossing'', Gem Trek Publishing, 1995, ISBN 1-895526-10-8〕 It is also a formidable climbing challenge. The easiest route requires a hike up the Howse River and then a climb up a glacier on the west side of the peak. In addition, at least two high-quality, difficult (Grade V/VI) technical routes exist on the east side of the mountain. == References ==
