Resolute has two main peaks, Lion and Lioness. They are each about 3150 m high. Both peaks are glaciated on their northern slopes. [1] Resolute was first ascended in 1958 by A. Hober and E. Hopkins. The easiest route up Resolute is accessible from Alberta Highway 11, where it crosses Thompson creek. [8]
