'''The Lecture Cutters''' are {{Convert|2524|m|ft|abbr=off|adj=on}} mountain peaks in British Columbia, Canada.
==Description== The Lecture Cutters is located in the McBride Range of the Coast Mountains, and {{convert|23|km|mi}} southeast of Whistler in Garibaldi Provincial Park. It is the third-highest point of the McBride Range.<ref name="pb"/> Precipitation runoff and glacial meltwater from this mountain's slopes drains into the Cheakamus River. The Lecture Cutters is more notable for its steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation as topographic relief is significant with the summit rising over 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) above the river in {{convert|3|km|mi|spell=in}}.
==Etymology== The mountain's toponym was officially adopted August 27, 1965, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada as proposed by Dr. Roy Hooley (1924–1996), Alpine Club of Canada and professor of civil engineering at the University of British Columbia.<ref name=bcgnis>{{cite bcgnis|892|The Lecture Cutters}}</ref> He was accustomed to students skipping his classes, especially members of UBC's Varsity Outdoors Club who regularly climbed in the Garibaldi Park area.<ref>G. P. V. Akrigg, Helen B. Akrigg, ''British Columbia Place Names'', 1997, UBC Press, {{ISBN|9780774806374}}, p. 151.</ref>
==Climate== Based on the Köppen climate classification, The Lecture Cutters is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.<ref name=Peel>{{cite journal | author = Peel, M.

As a result, the Coast Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports the McBride Glacier on the east slope. The months of July and August offer the most favorable weather for climbing The Lecture Cutters.
