Mount Warren (Alberta)
History
The peak was first named by Mary Schäffer Warren in 1908, after William "Billy" Warren, her longtime friend and mountain guide who in 1915 would become her second husband. Mary "discovered" Maligne Lake and she named many of the mountains around it, including Mount Charlton, Mount Unwin, and Maligne Mountain. The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1946 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
The first ascent of Mount Warren was made in 1928 by W.R. Hainsworth and M.M. Strumia.
