Mount Irvine
August 7, 2019
3090m
Clemenceau Icefield, BC
There is some confusion and debate about where exactly the summit of Mt. Irvine is. There are three sub-summits on the south ridge of Tusk Peak and Mt. Irvine is either the east (highest, but easiest), or the central peak. It seems like the historical record shows that Mt. Irvine is referred to the east summit while the central peak is given an unofficial name of “Mt. Chettan” so I’d go with this. In any case, you should refer to Tusk Peak for a full story.
