Canadian Rockies
Mount Mummery is a 3,328-metre (10,919 ft) glaciated double summit mountain located in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. It is the highest point in the Mummery Group, and fourth-highest in the Freshfield Icefield Ranges.[5] The mountain is situated 42 km (26 mi) north of Golden on the southern edge of the Freshfield Icefield, in the Blaeberry Valley, less than 4 km (2.5 mi) from the Continental Divide. The mountain was named in 1898 by J. Norman Collie after Albert F. Mummery (1855-1895), a famous British mountaineer who perished attempting to climb Nanga Parbat in the Himalayas.[1][6] Collie named many peaks in the Canadian Rockies, and was a climbing companion who accompanied Mummery on the Nanga Parbat expedition. Around the same time, nearby Nanga Parbat Mountain was also named by Collie.[7] Mount Mummery's name was officially adopted March 31, 1924, when approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[4] The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1906 by I. Tucker Burr Jr, Samuel Cabot Jr, W. Rodman Peabody, Robert Walcott, with guides Gottfried Feuz and Christian Kaufmann.[1]

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Mummery is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[8] Temperatures can drop below −20 °C (−4 °F) with wind chill factors below −30 °C (−22 °F). Precipitation runoff from the mountain and meltwater from the Mummery Glacier drains into Blaeberry River and Waitabit Creek, which are both tributaries of the Columbia River.
