Doubletop Mountain is a 2,667-metre (8,750-foot) mountain in British Columbia, Canada.

Description

Doubletop Mountain is part of the Adamant Range which is a subrange of the Selkirk Mountains.^[4] It is located 84 km (52 mi) northwest of Golden along the west side of the Rocky Mountain Trench. Precipitation runoff and glacial meltwater from the mountain drains to Kinbasket Lake via Swan and Double Eddy creeks. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,367 metres (4,485 ft) above Double Eddy Creek in 2 km (1.2 mi) and 1,367 metres (4,485 ft) above Swan Creek in 2.5 km (1.6 mi). Doubletop Mountain is located immediately north of the Bill Putnam hut which is one of Canada's best ski mountaineering destinations.^[5] The mountain's toponym was officially adopted on March 4, 1965, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.^[3]

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Doubletop Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.^[6] Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C.

Mount Columbia is a mountain located in the Winston Churchill Range of the Rocky Mountains. It is the highest point in Alberta, Canada, and is second only to Mount Robson for height and topographical prominence in the Canadian Rockies.

Joffre Peak is a 2,721-metre (8,927-foot) mountain summit located in the Coast Mountains, in Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is the second-highest point of the Joffre Group, which is a subset of the Lillooet Ranges. It is situated 26 km (16 mi) east of Pemberton and 11 km (7 mi) northeast of Lillooet Lake. Joffre is more notable for its steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation as topographic relief is significant with the summit rising 1,500 meters (4,920 ft) above Cayoosh Creek in 4 km (2.5 mi). The nearest higher peak is Mount Matier, 1.6 km (1 mi) to the south. The mountain's climate supports the Matier Glacier on the southwest slope, and the Anniversary Glacier on the southeast slope. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into Joffre Creek and Cayoosh Creek which are both within the Fraser River watershed.
