The mountain was named in 1909 by J.W.A. Hickson after he found several ptarmigan in the meadows below the peak. Hickson also made the first ascent guided by Edward Feuz jr.[1] The Lake Louise Mountain Resort is developed on the southern slopes of the Merlin Ridge, which includes Mount Richardson, Ptarmigan Peak, Pika Peak. A backcountry campground is located at the foot of the mountain, near Hidden Lake. RoutesThe scrambling route is via southern slopes starting from Hidden Lake. GeologyLike other mountains in Banff Park, the mountain is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.[3] 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, Ptarmigan Peak 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.
