The first ascent of Mt. Carr, which at the time was known as Copper Peak, was made in 1911 by a large BC Mountaineering Club party including Don Munday.[4][7]
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Carr is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.[8] 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. Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports the Sphinx Glacier on the west slope, Gray Glacier on the east, and the Cheakamus Glacier on the north slope.
