First Ascents

This is a list of our mountaineering first ascents (and ski descents) listed in chronological order with a link to a trip report. The list includes first ascents of peaks, first ascents of routes up peaks, first ski descents, and first winter ascents of peaks. Of course, it’s difficult to know for certain if a peak or route was previously unclimbed, but as far as I’ve researched these are all first ascents. The first ascents in Canada are all recognized by writeups in the American Alpine Journal and Canadian Alpine Journal. Contact me if you know one of these is an error. Note: many of these peaks are in remote regions of northern Canada and have no official name. For these peaks I refer to them by their elevation in meters and the trip report gives a detailed map of their locations.
