Description

Wikipedia

Sky Pilot Mountain is the highest mountain in the Britannia Range of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. It is sometimes considered the highest peak in the North Shore Mountains of the Vancouver area. It forms the basis of the Sky Pilot group, a popular mountaineering area which includes several nearby rocky peaks including Co-Pilot (1,881m), Ledge Mountain (1,964m), Mount Sheer (1,752m), and Ben Lomond (1,654 m). In 2014, two people died on Stadium Glacier below Sky Pilot in separate incidents. Another person died in 2017 while climbing the mountain. The area has seen an increase in the number of visitors since the opening of the Sea to Sky Gondola in 2014. The mountain, and Sky Pilot Rock near Desolation Sound are named for the United Church's mission boat Sky Pilot.
