Mount Weart
Mount Weart is a 2,835-metre (9,301-foot) triple-summit mountain located in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains, in northwestern Garibaldi Provincial Park of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is situated 14 km (9 mi) northeast of Whistler, and its nearest higher peak is Wedge Mountain, 3.7 km (2 mi) to the south, which is the only peak within the park higher than Weart. The Armchair Glacier rests below the west aspect of the summit, and the massive Weart Glacier spans the northern and eastern aspects of the mountain. Precipitation runoff from the peak and meltwater from the glaciers drains into Wedgemount Lake and tributaries of the Lillooet River.
