The 100 Highest Peaks in the Coast Mountains

[Don_Serl]

Drew Brayshaw's list of the 100 highest peaks near Vancouver stimulated me to finish a table I was working on: a compliation of the highest summits in the Coast Mountains, between Vancouver and Bella Coola (i.e., ignoring the Alaska panhandle).

 

The "rules" I operated under are:

 

*** I prepared this list using recent digital data in the BC Basemap, NOT older NTS maps. Stated accuracy is plus-or-minus 12m.

*** I attempted to identify every summit over 2900m.

*** I estimated elevations to the nearest 5m for closed contour peaks (i.e., those without an indicated point elevation), based on size of above-contour area and surrounding slope. Estimated heights are indicated with an asterix on the accompanying list. Accuracy should be plus-or-minus 10m, as the contour interval is 20m.

*** A few very sharp peaks in the Serra/Stiletto/Upper Tellot area have not been captured well by the mapping technology; elevations for these peaks have been estimated (as per "The Waddington Guide").

*** Sub-summits (i.e., peaks with less than 100m clear elevation separation from the "main" summit) have been eliminated. Peaks which carry significant sub-summits will be found to carry a numeral (e.g., "Combatant Mtn (1)").

*** Some historically and/or culturally important named summits which have less than 100m prominence have been retained in the list (e.g., many small summits on Upper Tellot Glacier and Marcus-to-Munday ridge).
