Mount Waddington, once known as Mystery Mountain, is the highest peak in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. Although Mount Fairweather and Mount Quincy Adams, which straddle the US border between Alaska and British Columbia are taller, Mount Waddington is the highest peak that lies entirely within British Columbia.

  • Mount Waddington, once known as Mystery Mountain, is the highest peak in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. Although Mount Fairweather and Mount Quincy Adams, which straddle the US border between Alaska and British Columbia are taller, Mount Waddington is the highest peak that lies entirely within British Columbia. It and the subrange which surround it, known as the Waddington Range, stand at the heart of the Pacific Ranges, which is to say it is in a remote and extremely difficult set of mountains and river valleys. It is not so far north as its extreme Arctic-like conditions might indicate and Mount Waddington and its attendant peaks pose some of the most serious expedition mountaineering to be had in North America — and some of the most extreme relief and spectacular mountain scenery. From Waddington's 13,186' fang to sea level at the heads of Bute and Knight Inlets is only a few miles; across the 10,000 foot deep gorges of the Homathko and the Klinaklini Rivers stand mountains almost as high, and icefields even vaster and whiter, only a few aerial miles away, with a maw deeper than the Grand Canyon, comparable in relief to the Himalayas (to which the terrain of British Columbia was compared by colonial-era travellers). Mount Waddington is the namesake of the Mount Waddington Regional District, which takes in the seaward slope of the Waddington Range and the adjoining coastline and parts of northern Vancouver Island adjacent to Queen Charlotte Strait.
  • Mount Waddington ist der höchste Berg der Coast Mountains in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Er wird oft mit dem Mont Blanc verglichen. Er ist der höchste Berg, der vollständig in British Columbia liegt. Mount Fairweather und Mount Quincy Adams sind höher, liegen aber teilweise in Alaska.
  • D'une altitude de 4 016 m, le mont Waddington (en anglais Mount Waddington) est le plus haut sommet de la Chaîne côtière de Colombie-Britannique. Il se dresse près de l'embouchure de la Knight, à 282 km au nord-ouest de Vancouver. S'élevant à seulement 39 km du littoral marin, il abrite au moins cinq glaciers de vallée de plus de 16 km de long. D'abord appelé mont Mystery, on lui donne le nom de l'industriel d'origine anglaise Alfred Waddington, dont le rêve de construire une route depuis l'extrémité de la baie Bute vers les champs aurifères de Cariboo ne s'est jamais réalisé. Fritz Weissner et William House atteignent le sommet principal du mont en 1933. Les conditions extrêmes, similaire l'Arctique, rend l'ascension du sommet comme une des plus serieuses ascension en Amérique du nord mais il offre l'un des plus extrêmes et spectaculaires paysage de montagne. Le relief y est comparable à celui de l'Himalaya. Le mont Waddington est le troisième plus haut sommet de Colombie-Britannique (après le mont Fairweather et le mont Quincy Adams qui sont tous les deux à cheval sur la frontière entre la Colombie-Britannique et l'Alaska) mais c'est le plus grand sommet intégralement à l'intérieur de la Colombie-Britannique.
  • Il Monte Waddington è la più alta vetta della Waddington Range, gruppo appartenente alla catena montuosa delle Montagne Costiere, localizzare nella regione Sud della provincia canadese della Columbia Britannica. Ha un'altezza di 4.019 metri sul livello del mare. La prima scalata venne eseguita nel 1936 ad opera di Fritz Wiessner e William House.
