Being one of the highest peaks in the region, it is visible from many of the peaks around [Vancouver, British Columbia](/source/Vancouver%2C_British_Columbia). It is in the eastern part of [Golden Ears Provincial Park](/source/Golden_Ears_Provincial_Park). Mount Robie Reid is to the south. __NOTOC__ ==Name== Mount Judge Howay is named for [Frederic W. Howay](/source/Frederic_William_Howay), a noted jurist and judge primarily known for being an authority on the [history of British Columbia](/source/history_of_British_Columbia). Just to the southwest, [Mount Robie Reid](/source/Mount_Robie_Reid) commemorates his lifelong colleague in law and history, [Robie Lewis Reid](/source/Robie_Lewis_Reid). ==Access== Due to its remote location and complicated topography, it is a very difficult peak to climb. To approach it from the southeast requires a canoe to get to the head of the lake, an approach on deactivated logging roads, a ford of the [Stave River](/source/Stave_River), climbing through steep [Pacific Coast rainforest](/source/Pacific_temperate_rainforests_(WWF_ecoregion)) while [orienteering](/source/orienteering) through cliff bands. ==Climate== Based on the [Köppen climate classification](/source/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification), Mount Judge Howay is located in a [marine west coast](/source/marine_west_coast) climate zone of western [North America](/source/North_America).{{Cite Köppen-Geiger cc 2007}}Most [weather front](/source/weather_front)s originate in the [Pacific Ocean](/source/Pacific_Ocean), and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range ([Orographic lift](/source/Orographic_lift)), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall. ==See also== * [Geography of British Columbia](/source/Geography_of_British_Columbia) ==References== {{Reflist}} ;Sources * {{cite journal | last = Barnard | first = Kobus | year = 1989 | title = South Peak of Mt.
