Mount Fryatt

Mount Fryatt is Alberta's 26th highest peak. In 1920, it was named after Captain Charles Fryatt, a British merchant seaman who was executed by the Germans during World War I.[7] It lies within peaks that are between the Athabasca and Whirlpool Rivers in Jasper National Park.[1][4]
Geology
Mount Fryatt is composed of sedimentary rock laid down from the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.[8] Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[9]

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Fryatt is located in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[10] Temperatures can drop below -20 °C with wind chill factors below -30 °C. Precipitation runoff from Mount Fryatt drains into tributaries of the Athabasca River.
