'''Mount Munday''' is one of the principal summits of the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains in British Columbia, Canada. It is {{convert|3356|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} in elevation and stands in the Waddington Range six kilometres southeast of Mount Waddington {{convert|4019|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}, which is the highest summit in the Coast Mountains.
The peak was named in honour of pioneering climbers Don and Phyllis Munday who first climbed it explored and charted much of the southern Coast Mountains, including much of western Garibaldi Provincial Park near Whistler but also many remote peaks lesser-known than those near the resort. The Mundays were the discoverers of Mount Waddington, formerly dubbed by them Mystery Mountain; they originally spotted it from Mount Arrowsmith on Vancouver Island but explored the Waddington Range in the hope of locating and measuring it, although someone else performed its first ascent.<ref name="NP">{{cite news |last1=O'Connor |first1=Joe |title=The search for B.C.'s Mystery Mountain: Experts said it didn't exist — then Don and Phyllis Munday found it |url=https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/the-search-for-b-c-s-mystery-mountain-experts-said-it-didnt-exist-then-don-and-phyllis-munday-found-it |access-date=2 July 2018 |publisher=National Post |date=2 July 2018}}</ref>
==Climate== Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Munday 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, Splendour and Ice Valley glaciers which cover the slopes of Mount Munday.
