Description

International Mountain is a prominent 3,099-metre-elevation (10,167-foot) peak located 33 kilometres (20.5 miles) northwest of The Bugaboos and 38 kilometres (23.6 miles) south of Golden. It is the highest point of the Carbonate Range which is a subrange of the Purcell Mountains. [1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's south slope drains to the Duncan River via Syncline and Hatteras creeks, and from the north slope into Carbonate Creek → Bobbie Burns Creek → Spillimacheen River → Columbia River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,524 metres (5,000 feet) above Syncline Creek in three kilometres (1.86 mile). The mountain's toponym was officially adopted on September 14, 1967, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. [3]

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, International Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. [5] Temperatures in winter can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports unnamed glaciers on the mountain's slopes.

Mount Spetch is a 2,579-metre (8,461-foot) mountain summit located in the Coast Mountains, in Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is part of the Joffre Group, which is a subset of the Lillooet Ranges. It is situated 25 km (16 mi) east of Pemberton, midway between Mount Matier and Slalok Mountain, both one kilometre either side of Spetch. The mountain's name was submitted by Karl Ricker of the Alpine Club of Canada to honor Samuel W. Spetch, who operated the general store at Birken, and other businesses in Pemberton. The name was officially adopted on January 23, 1979, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1971 by J. Oswald and G. Walter. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into Joffre Creek and Twin One Creek, both tributaries of the Lillooet River. The mountain and its climate supports the Matier Glacier on the northern slope.
