Remote Mountain is a 3,038-metre (9,967-foot) summit located in British Columbia, Canada.
Remote Mountain is set in the northwest corner of the Waddington Range in a remote wilderness area that few visit. Remote Mountain is located 298 km (185 mi) northwest of Vancouver and 20 km (12 mi) northwest of Mount Waddington, which is the highest peak of the entire Coast Mountains range. [1] Precipitation runoff from Remote Mountain's slopes drains into the Klinaklini River. [1] Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 2,600 meters (8,530 feet) above the river in 8 kilometers (5 miles) and the north face is a 700-meter-high (2,300 ft) rock wall above the Fan Glacier. The mountain was named by Don Munday as identified in the 1933 Canadian Alpine Journal and the toponym was officially adopted on April 6, 1950, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. [4]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Remote Mountain is located in the marine west coast climate zone. [5] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall. As a result, the Coast Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports the Fan Glacier and unnamed glaciers which surround the slopes of Remote Mountain.
Mount Munday is one of the principal summits of the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains in British Columbia, Canada. It is 3,356 m (11,010 ft) in elevation and stands in the Waddington Range six kilometres southeast of Mount Waddington 4,019 m (13,186 ft), which is the highest summit in the Coast Mountains.
Mount Tiedemann 3,838 m (12,592 ft), prominence 848 m (2,782 ft), is one of the principal summits of the Pacific Ranges subdivision of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. It is located 3 km (1.9 mi) northeast of Mount Waddington in the Waddington Range massif between the Homathko and Klinaklini Rivers.
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.
Tremor Mountain is a prominent 2,691-metre (8,829-foot) summit located in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains, in Garibaldi Provincial Park of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is the highest point of the Spearhead Range, which is a subset of the Garibaldi Ranges. It is situated 13 km (8 mi) southeast of Whistler, and 8.7 km (5 mi) south of Wedge Mountain, its nearest higher peak. Precipitation runoff from the south side of the peak as well as meltwater from the Platform Glacier drains into Fitzsimmons Creek which is a tributary of the Green River. Meltwater from the Tremor Glacier on the northwestern slope drains to Wedge Creek, and meltwater from the Shudder Glacier on the northeast slope drains into Billygoat Creek, a tributary of the Lillooet River. Tremor Mountain is often climbed as part of the Spearhead Traverse. The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1928 by A.J. Campbell Garibaldi survey party. The mountain's name origin refers to unexplained earth tremors when the first ascent party was on the summit. The mountain's toponym was officially adopted on September 6, 1951, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

Big Snow Mountain is a 2,357-metre (7,733-foot) mountain summit located in British Columbia, Canada.
Mount Carr is a 2,590-metre (8,497-foot) mountain summit located in British Columbia, Canada.
Handcar Peak is a 2,338-metre (7,671-foot) mountain summit located in the Railroad Group of the Coast Mountains, in the Pemberton Valley of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is situated 38 km (24 mi) northwest of Pemberton and 3 km (2 mi) west of Locomotive Mountain. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into Sampson Creek and Buck Creek which are both tributaries of the Lillooet River. Handcar Peak is more notable for its steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation as topographic relief is significant with the summit rising over 2,050 meters (6,725 ft) above Lillooet River and Pemberton Valley in approximately 4 km (2.5 mi). The mountain's name was proposed in 1978 by mountaineer Karl Ricker of the Alpine Club of Canada, in association with Railroad Pass, Railroad Creek and other railroad-related names of the immediate vicinity. The toponym was officially adopted January 23, 1979, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
