Mount Wintour is a 2,700-metre (8,900-foot) ridge-like mountain summit located in the Opal Range of the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada.[1] It is situated in the Kananaskis River Valley east of Lower Kananaskis Lake and Highway 40 in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. The nearest higher neighbor is Mount Jerram, 2.3 km (1.4 mi) to the east.[1] The northern end of Mount Wintour forms the south canyon wall of King Creek which is a popular ice climbing destination. There are two climbing routes to the summit, the North Ridge and the South Ridge, both rated class 5.4.[4]
