Climbing British Columbia's Mt. Waddington on Mountainzone.com |
 | | North of Vancouver, British Columbia's Pacific coast is a rugged mountain wilderness, heavily covered in rain forest and deeply indented by fjord-like inlets. |
 | | Mount Waddington, the highest peak in British Columbia, is a spectacular fang of ice-covered rock that was first climbed by Fritz Wiessner and William House in 1936. |
 | | The Bravo Glacier has occasionally been compared with the Khumbu Glacier on Mount Everest, and we found a few sections worthy of caution - a menacing ice tower, several weak snow bridges, areas of unconsolidated snow - yet at a significantly lower altitude and much smaller scale than anything comparable on the world's highest mountain. |
