'''Bravo Peak''' is a {{Convert|3105|m|ft|lk=off|abbr=off|adj=on}} summit located in British Columbia, Canada.
==Description== Bravo Peak is situated in the Waddington Range of the Coast Mountains, in a remote wilderness area that few visit. Bravo Peak is set {{convert|155|km|mi|abbr=on}} north of the community of Campbell River and {{convert|2.35|km|mi|abbr=on}} southeast of Mount Waddington, the highest peak of the entire Coast Mountains range.<ref name="pb"/> Other neighbors include Mount Munday, Grenelle Mountain and Spearman Peak, which is the nearest higher neighbor.<ref name=peakvisor/> Precipitation runoff from Bravo Peak drains to Tiedemann Creek → Homathko River → Bute Inlet. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 900 meters (2,950 feet) above the Tiedemann Glacier in 0.6 kilometer (0.37 mile).
==History== The peak's name was originally identified on mountaineer Don Munday's 1934 map,<ref name="bcgnis">{{cite bcgnis|id=34958|title=Bravo Peak|accessdate=2022-12-08}}</ref> and appeared in subsequent climber's guides before being officially adopted May 1, 1978, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.<ref name=cgndb/>
An ascent of the summit made in July 1950 by Allen Steck, William W. Dunmire, Oscar Cook, Richard Houston, James Wilson, Philip Bettler, William Long and Raymond de Saussure was possibly the first ascent.<ref>Sierra Club Bulletin, 1951, p. 151.</ref>
==Climate== Based on the Köppen climate classification, Bravo Peak has an ice cap climate.<ref name=KGcc2007>{{Cite Köppen-Geiger cc 2007}}</ref> Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall. As a result, the Coast Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports the Bravo and Tiedemann glaciers which surround the slopes of Bravo Peak.
