Mount Abbott is a mountain in British Columbia, Canada, located within Glacier National Park.[3] The peak is west of the Asulkan Creek drainage, near Rogers Pass. It is named for Henry Braithwaite Abbott, a superintendent of the Canadian National Railway.[4] The first ascent was made by William Spotswood Green and Henry Swanzy in 1888. The route is a relatively easy scramble.[1]
