Description
Barbette Mountain is situated on the Continental Divide and on the boundary of Banff National Park. It is part of the Waputik Mountains which is a subrange of the Canadian Rockies. The nearest higher neighbor is Mistaya Mountain, Шаблон:Convert to the southeast.[1] Precipitation runoff from Barbette drains west to the Blaeberry River via Wildcat Creek, and east into tributaries of the Mistaya River.

The peak is visible from the Icefields Parkway in the vicinity of the Silverhorn Creek Bridge.[2][3]
History
Barbette Mountain was named in 1918 by interprovincial boundary surveyors and the toponym was officially adopted March 31, 1924, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[4] The descriptive name was inspired by the two high platform peaks which rise from the mass of the mountain. A barbette (French for platform) is a platform in a fort or ship upon which guns are mounted.
The first ascent of the summit was made in 1933 by Henry S. Kingman and J. Monroe Thorington, with guide Conrad Kain.[4]
Geology
Barbette Mountain is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.[5] Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[6]
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Barbette Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[7] Winter temperatures can drop below Шаблон:Convert with wind chill factors below Шаблон:Convert. This climate supports the Barbette and Delta glaciers on the north and east slopes of the peak.
