caption_attribution_description: English: Mt. Columbia as seen from a good Columbia Icefield bivy site for The Twins (South Twin, North Twin and Twins Tower), Snow Dome, Mt. Kitchener and the Stutfields (East and West). Typically and true in this case, someone had previously built the wind wall and all we had to do was shovel out the newer snow for our use.
context_page_description: Mount Columbia is located in the Winston Churchill Range of the Rocky Mountains. It is the highest point in Alberta, Canada, and is second only to Mount Robson for height and topographical prominence in the Canadian Rockies. It is located on the border between Alberta and British Columbia on the northern edge of the Columbia Icefield. Its highest point, however, lies within Jasper National Park in Alberta.
  The mountain was named in 1898 by J. Norman Collie after the Columbia River.
  The river itself was named after the American ship Columbia Rediviva captained by Robert Gray, who first ventured over a dangerous sandbar and explored the lower reaches of the river in 1792.
  Mount Columbia was first ascended in 1902 by James Outram, guided by Christian Kaufmann.
