Mount Whymper is a 2,845-metre (9,334 ft) mountain located in the Canadian Rockies, British Columbia, Canada, in the Vermilion Pass area in Kootenay National Park.
The mountain is named for its first conqueror, the English alpinist, explorer, writer and engraver Edward Whymper.
In 1901, Whymper and his four guides (Joseph Bossoney, Christian Kaufmann, Christian Klucker, and Joseph Pollinger)[8][9] first climbed Mount Whymper.[4][9][10][11] Whymper was exploring the area sponsored by Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR)[8][12] to promote the Canadian Rocky Mountains and the railway in his conferences.[13][14]
