Doubletop Mountain is a 2,667-metre (8,750-foot) mountain in British Columbia, Canada.
Description[edit]
Doubletop Mountain is part of the Adamant Range which is a subrange of the Selkirk Mountains.[4] It is located 84 km (52 mi) northwest of Golden along the west side of the Rocky Mountain Trench. Precipitation runoff and glacial meltwater from the mountain drains to Kinbasket Lake via Swan and Double Eddy creeks. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,367 metres (4,485 ft) above Double Eddy Creek in 2 km (1.2 mi) and 1,367 metres (4,485 ft) above Swan Creek in 2.5 km (1.6 mi). Doubletop Mountain is located immediately north of the Bill Putnam hut which is one of Canada's best ski mountaineering destinations.[5] The mountain's toponym was officially adopted on March 4, 1965, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[3]
Climate[edit]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Doubletop Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[6] Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C.
