Mount Elliott (British Columbia)

Mount Elliott is a mountain located in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. It is situated within the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, northeast of the town of Squamish. The mountain is part of the Tantalus Range, a subrange known for its rugged, glaciated peaks and challenging climbing conditions.

Mount Elliott is primarily composed of granitic rock. It is characterized by steep, rocky faces, alpine meadows at lower elevations, and permanent snowfields and glaciers clinging to its higher slopes. The mountain's drainage contributes to the surrounding watersheds, ultimately feeding into the Squamish River system.

While not among the highest peaks in the Tantalus Range, Mount Elliott presents a significant challenge to climbers and mountaineers due to its technical terrain and remoteness. Ascents typically involve glacier travel, rock climbing, and route finding skills. The mountain is not easily accessible, often requiring multi-day expeditions and careful planning.

Detailed information regarding specific climbing routes, access points, and permit requirements should be obtained from relevant local authorities and mountaineering organizations. Information on the mountain's geological history and ecological significance may be available through government resources and academic publications.
