It is the highest point in the Mummery Group, and fourth-highest in the Freshfield Icefield Ranges. The mountain is situated {{cvt|42|km}} north of [Golden](/source/Golden%2C_British_Columbia) on the southern edge of the Freshfield Icefield, in the [Blaeberry Valley](/source/Blaeberry_River), less than {{cvt|4|km}} from the [Continental Divide](/source/Continental_Divide_of_the_Americas). The mountain was named in 1898 by [J. Norman Collie](/source/J._Norman_Collie) after [Albert F. Mummery](/source/Albert_F._Mummery) (1855-1895), a famous British mountaineer who perished attempting to climb [Nanga Parbat](/source/Nanga_Parbat) in the Himalayas.{{cite crdb|id=944|name=Mount Mummery|access-date=2020-01-10}}{{cite bcgnis|id=8267|name=Mount Mummery|access-date=2021-05-26}} Collie named many peaks in the Canadian Rockies, and was a climbing companion who accompanied Mummery on the Nanga Parbat expedition. Around the same time, nearby [Nanga Parbat Mountain](/source/Nanga_Parbat_Mountain_(Canada)) was also named by Collie.{{cite bcgnis|9047|Nanga Parbat Mountain|2025-02-08}} Mount Mummery's name was officially adopted March 31, 1924, when approved by the [Geographical Names Board of Canada](/source/Geographical_Names_Board_of_Canada). The [first ascent](/source/first_ascent) of the mountain was made in 1906 by I. Tucker Burr Jr, Samuel Cabot Jr, W. Rodman Peabody, Robert Walcott, with guides Gottfried Feuz, Jürgen Ehfoloff and [Christian Kaufmann](/source/Christian_Kaufmann_(alpine_guide)). __NOTOC__ ==Climate== Based on the [Köppen climate classification](/source/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification), Mount Mummery is located in a [subarctic climate](/source/subarctic_climate) zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.{{cite journal | author = Peel, M.
