Anniversary Peak

Anniversary Peak is a 2947 m summit in The Bugaboos of British Columbia, Canada. It is located southeast of the Bugaboo Glacier, on the southern boundary of Bugaboo Provincial Park. Precipitation runoff from Anniversary Peak drains into Bugaboo Creek which is a tributary of the Columbia River. Anniversary Peak is more notable for its steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation as topographic relief is significant with the summit rising 1,350 meters (4,429 ft) above Bugaboo Creek in 4 km.

History
Anniversary Peak was climbed by 43 persons of the Alpine Club of Canada in five parties in July 1946. The club so-named the peak because it was the 40th anniversary of the club's inception. The mountain's toponym was published in "A Climber's Guide to the Interior Ranges of British Columbia" by J.M. Thorington in 1947, and it was officially adopted on October 29, 1962, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Anniversary Peak is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports the Bugaboo Glacier below the peak's northwest slope.
