Mount Foch is a 3,194-metre (10,479-foot) mountain summit located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia on the Continental Divide. It was named in 1918 after Marshal Ferdinand Foch.[3][1]
The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1930 by Kate (Katie) Gardiner and Walter Feuz.[1] The duo also made the first ascents of nearby Mount Sarrail and Mount Lyautey that same year.[3]
