Grizzly Mountain is a Шаблон:Convert mountain summit located in Glacier National Park, in the Hermit Range of the Selkirk Mountains in British Columbia, Canada. Grizzly Mountain is situated Шаблон:Convert northeast of Revelstoke, and Шаблон:Convert west of Golden. It is also set Шаблон:Convert north of Cheops Mountain, and Шаблон:Convert west of Rogers Pass from which it can be seen from the Trans-Canada Highway. The closest peak to Grizzly is Ursus Minor Mountain, Шаблон:Convert to the west-southwest, and its nearest higher peak is Mount Sifton, Шаблон:Convert to the north. The first ascent of the mountain was made August 31, 1901, by John E. Bushnell, August S. Eggers, Karl Schuluneggar, and Friedrich Michel via the southeast couloir. The first ascent of the north ridge was made in 1921 by Neal Carter, Tom Fyles, and Don Munday. The Шаблон:YDS west ridge was first climbed by Georgia Engelhard and Ernest Feuz in 1933. The mountain's name was adopted in 1906, then re-approved September 8, 1932, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. It was so-named because of its proximity above Bear Creek (since renamed Connaught Creek), and in keeping with the bear theme of other nearby features such as Ursus Major Mountain, Ursus Minor Mountain, Bruins Pass, and Balu Pass.
