Mount Baker is mountain on the Continental Divide, in Alberta and British Columbia, in the Waputik Mountains of the Canadian Rockies. It was named in 1898 by J. Norman Collie after his friend and climbing partner George Percival Baker (1855–1951), textile manufacturer, plantsman and gardener, and keen mountaineer. Baker described his visit to this area which took place in 1897.〔Mountaineering memories of the past. Privately printed 1951〕 In this small volume Baker also noted that Collie proposed also name a pass 6800 ft after him. Collie and Baker were accompanied by Peter Sarbach, and (for the first week) by H. B. Dixon and some American members of the Appalachian Mountain Club. Mount Sarbach was named at the same time, as well as several other peaks: "We now named the peaks, after presidents of the Club of our time, Freshfield, Dent, Pilkington, and Walker." The mountain has been mis-identified as "Stremotch Mountain" on subsequent maps and documents after a first map submitted by C.S. Thompson to the Surveyor General and subsequently printed in "Map of the Wapta Icefield" in Canadian Alpine Journal Vol 1, No 1, 1907, p.151.〔 ==Nearby== * Mount Habel ( South East) * Trapper Peak ( North North East) * Field ( South) * Mount Patterson ( North) (line parent) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Baker (Waputik Mountains)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
