Mount Green
Mount Green is a mountain summit located in Glacier National Park, in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. It is situated north-northwest of Mount Bonney, southwest of Rogers Pass, northeast of Revelstoke, and west of Golden. The mountain was named by Arthur Oliver Wheeler for Rev. William Spotswood Green, who explored, mapped, named, climbed, and wrote about the Selkirk Mountains. His book "Among the Selkirk Glaciers", published in 1890, introduced the world to the Selkirk Mountains. He is credited with recommending the location for a small chalet to the Canadian Pacific Railway that would grow to become the Chateau Lake Louise hotel, as well as making the first ascent of Mount Bonney. The mountain's name was officially adopted September 8, 1932, when approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. The first ascent of the mountain was made August 25, 1910, by Alexander A. McCoubrey and Ernest Feuz who climbed the south ridge and descended the north ridge.Climate
