Island 6000
by Lindsay Elms
The following is a list of Vancouver Island Summits 6,000 feet (1,829 metres) or greater in height. The list is not definitive and some of the mountains could be in question as to their exact height and there is no definition of what constitutes a separate summit of which Mount Colonel Foster is a good example. The heights vary, in some cases significantly, from previous published (Philip Stone's Island Alpine and the Vancouver Island section of the Alpine Club of Canada's annual The Bushwhacker) and unpublished sources, as well as the 1:50,000 Topographical maps. This is due to the fact that most of the heights (in metric) come from the 1:20,000 TRIM maps. There are also some peaks (not shown) that are over 1,820 metres but just short of the 6,000 foot mark, however, with the active plate tectonic action occurring below Vancouver Island it is feasible that with accurate readings they may reach that targeted height. These include Big Interior Mountain's south summit historically named Marjorie's Load*, Jutland Mountain, Puzzle Mountain and the Ptarmigan Pinnacles*.

# All six-figure grid references are from the corresponding 1:50,000 Topographic maps.
All heights have been converted from metric to imperial measurements using a Measuring Units Conversion Table at http://convert.french-property.co.uk/index.htm and rounded to the nearest number.
Some of the above mountains may have several subsidiary summits that are also over 6,000 feet: Mount McBride has two cairned summits that appear identical in height, Crown Mountain's twin peaks, Nine Peaks other summits some of which may be over 6,000 feet, the Misthorn with several summits around the same height, the twin summits of The Behinde and the most obvious Mount Colonel Foster with its six individual peaks that are all over 6,000 feet. The peak one kilometre to the north of the Golden Hinde has been given the name The Comb* and then another kilometre north of that is another peak labelled (at the moment) Golden Hinde NW.
Of particular note are the significant height changes to Mount Harmston and The Behinde, both of which are now over the 2,000 metre mark, and the lower height of Elkhorn, which, however, doesn't change its rank as the second highest mountain on the island.
Over the years several local mountaineers have worked on establishing a list of summits over 6,000 feet (http://www.horizon.bc.ca/~acc/VIAG/lists.htm) on Vancouver Island such as Sandy Briggs, Don Berryman and John Cowlin. Island 6000 varies slightly from their original list's, however, this list complements theirs and hopefully gives others something to work from in establishing an accurate reference guide. |
