It is situated on the shared boundary of Peter Lougheed Provincial Park with Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. Mount Smuts in not visible from any road in Banff Park, however, it can be seen from Alberta Highway 742, also known as Smith-Dorrien/Spray Trail in Kananaskis Country. Mount Smuts' nearest higher peak is Mount Birdwood, {{convert|2.8|km|mi|abbr=on}} to the south-southeast.[1] HistoryMount Smuts was named by the Interprovincial Boundary Commission in 1918 for General Jan Smuts (1870–1950). During World War I, he led the armies of South Africa against Germany, capturing German South-West Africa and commanding the British Army in East Africa in 1916-1917.[4] [5] The mountain's name was made official in 1924 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2] The first ascent of the peak was made in 1926 by M. Crosby, M. Kennard, H.S. Crosby, C.A. Willard, with guide Rudolph Aemmer.[5] GeologyMount Smuts is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.[6] Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[7] ClimateBased on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Smuts is located in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[8] Temperatures can drop below −20 C with wind chill factors below −30 C. In terms of favorable weather, July through September are the best months to climb. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains west into Spray River, or east to Smuts Creek, both of which empty into Spray Lakes Reservoir. ClimbingMount Smuts is a difficult and exposed scramble on limestone slabs via the south ridge and very few parties successfully summit each year.[3] Rope is recommended for anything less than ideal conditions.
