Sobre esta montanha
Wedge Mountain (2892m) is a volcanic peak in the Coast Mountains, Canada. Grade 4/5: technical ascent requiring mountaineering skills. A Canadian peak in a remote wilderness setting with glaciated terrain demanding technical competence and expedition logistics.
The topographic contour map of Wedge Mountain (2892m) in the Coast Mountains shows contours reflecting the unique geological character of the terrain. Contour lines are drawn at 50m intervals, with index contours (thicker lines) every 250m. The hypsometric color scale ranges from green (lower elevations) through yellow and orange to white (highest elevations near the 2,892m summit). Above 2,500m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.
Perfil de elevação
The east–west elevation profile of Wedge Mountain (2892m) in the Coast Mountains shows the terrain cross-section through the summit at 2,892m. The color gradient transitions from green (valley floor) to white (summit zone), with the red summit marker indicating the peak. The dashed blue snow line at 2,500m marks the approximate elevation above which permanent snow persists year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
The contour map uses a hypsometric color scale where green represents lower elevations, yellow and orange indicate mid-range altitudes, and white marks the highest zones near the summit. Thicker contour lines (index contours) are drawn at wider intervals to help you quickly estimate elevation.
The contour map of Wedge Mountain (2892m) uses a 50m contour interval. This means each line represents a 50m change in elevation. Closely spaced contours indicate steeper terrain, while widely spaced contours show gentler slopes.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Wedge Mountain (2892m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 2,892m. It reveals the mountain's shape, steepness, and relative height compared to the surrounding terrain. The horizontal axis shows distance in kilometers from the peak.
At Wedge Mountain (2892m)'s latitude (50°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 2,500m. Since Wedge Mountain (2892m) reaches 2,892m, about 392m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.
