Mount Wintour

Mount Wintour is a 2,700-metre (8,900-foot) ridge-like mountain summit located in the Opal Range of the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada.

[1] The northern end of Mount Wintour forms the south canyon wall of King Creek which is a popular ice climbing destination.

[4] The mountain was named in honor of Captain Charles John Wintour (1871–1916), Royal Navy commander of the 4th Destroyer Flotilla.

He was killed when his flagship, the destroyer HMS Tipperary was sunk by the German battleship SMS Westfalen during the Battle of Jutland in World War I.

The months June through September offer the most favorable weather to climb Mount Wintour.
