Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mountain
Cathedral Mountain is a Шаблон:Convert complex massif located six kilometres northwest of Lake O'Hara in Yoho National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. Its shape and structure conjures up a resemblance to a gothic cathedral that has inspired many artists, including Group of Seven's Arthur Lismer, to paint it back in 1928. This picturesque mountain is visible from Highway 1, the Trans-Canada Highway, near Kicking Horse Pass. Its nearest higher peak is Mount Stephen, Шаблон:Convert to the west.[1] To prevent damage to its operations, the Canadian Pacific Railway pumps overflow from Teacup Lake down the west face of Cathedral to minimize the subglacial lake's discharging in a phenomenon known as a Шаблон:Lang.[1]
History
The name Cathedral Mountain was in use as early as 1884 and appeared on George Dawson's 1886 map.[2] The first ascent of Cathedral Mountain was made in 1901 by James Outram, with guides Joseph Bossoney, and Christian Klucker.[2] The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1924 when approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[3]
Geology
Cathedral Mountain is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Cambrian periods.[4] Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[5]
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Cathedral Mountain is located in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[6] Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. Precipitation runoff from Cathedral Mountain drains into tributaries of the Kicking Horse River which is a tributary of the Columbia River.
Cathedral Crags
Cathedral Crags[7] (3082 m) are striking pinnacles with steep, reddish cliffs located one kilometre northwest of the summit of Cathedral Mountain, near Kicking Horse Pass and the Spiral Tunnels Viewpoint.[8] This rocky feature of Cathedral Mountain was first climbed in 1900 by James Outram, and W. Outram, with Christian Hasler Sr. as guide.[2] The crag's name was officially adopted in 1952 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[7]
