Canada’s highest mountain [5,959 m / 19,551 ft], rarely seen, even by air. It is almost always obscured by clouds or storms, and is surrounded by 75,000 square kilometres [30,000 square miles] of glaciers and rugged peaks. On the 5,000-metre-high [16,000 ft] plateau, air temperature hovers around −45 °C /−49 °F in winter. It was first summited in 1925 by a team of Canadian, American and British climbers, the task taking 65 days. The first solo assent was made in 2018 by Monique Richard. I was thrilled enough to fly over the outer portion of the plateau and spot it in the far distance, in 1995.
