Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mountain

Eon Mountain is located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia on the Continental Divide. It is Alberta's 41st-highest peak, and the 53rd-highest peak in British Columbia. It was named in 1901 by James Outram.[1][2]

The first ascent of Eon was made on July 17, 1921, by Winthrop E. Stone, then President of Purdue University, who fell to his death shortly after reaching the summit.[1][3] Stone had climbed the final chimney and then unroped on the summit. Upon returning to the chimney he stepped on a loose stone near the edge and fell. His wife was stationed at the base of the final chimney at the time. She was able to descend to Шаблон:Convert on the south face and was rescued on July 24. On August 5, a five-man recovery team ascended the SE arête to retrieve Stone's body which was located some Шаблон:Convert below the summit.[3]


Geology

The mountain is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic 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, Eon Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[6] Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C.
