Uto Peak is a mountain immediately north of Mount Sir Donald in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. It was first climbed in 1890 by Emil Huber and Carl Sulzer.[1]
The mountain is named for the Uto section of the Swiss Alpine Club[3], which counted Huber and Sulzer amongst its members. The Uto section is in turn named after a historic name for the Uetliberg mountain that overlooks the city of Zürich in Switzerland.
