Ashlu Mountain is a 2,561-metre (8,402-foot) pyramidic mountain summit located in the Pacific Ranges in the Coast Mountains of southwestern British Columbia, Canada known for its glaciation and climbing routes. It is situated 50 km (31 mi) northwest of Squamish, in the Elaho-Jervis Divide, where it is the tallest peak in that subrange.[3] Its nearest higher peaks are Mount Tantalus in the Tantalus Range, 33 km (20 mi) to the southeast[4], and its line parent, Mount Tinniswood, 33.5 km (21 mi) to the northwest at the head of Princess Louisa Inlet on Jervis Inlet.[3]
Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into its namesake Ashlu Creek[5] in the west and the Elaho River in the east. Both of which are tributaries of the Squamish River.
Climbing routes
Ashlu Mountain is typically accessed from the southwest via trails from Shortcut Creek off of Ashlu Main logging road,[3][6] however vehicle access to this trailhead is no longer possible due to bridge washouts.[7] The easiest route to the summit is listed as moderate scramble with some exposure and loose rock. However, there are multiple known climbing routes.[3]
- East Ridge (Class 2-3)
- West Ridge (Class 3)
- South Face (Class 5.8-5.9)
- Southest Buttress (Class 5.8)
