Mount Sparrowhawk's nearest higher peak is Mount Bogart, {{convert|3.6|km|mi|abbr=on}} to the southeast.[1] Sparrowhawk's south slope was a candidate to be used as a ski hill for the alpine events at the 1988 Winter Olympics, but nearby Mount Allan's Nakiska was selected instead.[1] HistoryMount Sparrowhawk was named in 1917 for the HMS Sparrowhawk, a British destroyer that sank during the Battle of Jutland in World War I.[3] The mountain's name became official in 1922 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2] The first ascent of the peak was made in 1947 by R.C. Hind, L. Parker, Mr. and Mrs. H.H. Rans.[3] GeologyMount Sparrowhawk is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods. Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[4] ClimateBased on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Sparrowhawk is located in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[5] Temperatures can drop below −20 C with wind chill factors below −30 C. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains east into the Kananaskis River and west into Spray Lakes Reservoir, both of which empty to the Bow River.
