'Mount Hungabee' is located on the boundaries of
Banff National Park and
Yoho National Park on the
Continental Divide at the head of
Paradise Valley. The peak was named in
1894 by
Samuel Allen after the Stoney Indian word for "chieftain" as the mountain is higher than its neighbouring peaks. The mountain can be seen from the
Icefields Parkway (#93) in the upper
Bow Valley.
Mt. Hungabee was first climbed in
1903 by H.C. Parker who was guided by Hans Kaufmann and Christian Kaufmann.
Routes
The normal climbing route is via the west ridge (III 5.4) which features route finding challenges. Early summer is not recommended due to avalanche hazard from snow on the NW face.
