Pacific Ranges Cascade Range

Seven Fingered Jack

9,077 ft

Seven Fingered Jack is a prominent peak located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range of British Columbia, Canada. It stands tall with an elevation of 9,120 feet (2,780 meters) and offers a challenging yet rewarding mountaineering experience. The mountain derives its name from its distinct jagged summit, which resembles seven fingers reaching towards the sky.

During the winter season, Seven Fingered Jack experiences a substantial snowpack, making it a popular destination for backcountry skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. The snowpack range varies each year, with an average accumulation of 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters). This makes it crucial for mountaineers to have proper equipment and avalanche awareness skills when venturing into the area.

Several creeks and rivers benefit from the snowmelt and runoff from Seven Fingered Jack. These water sources include the nearby Clearwater River, which flows through the valley below, providing a vital supply for wildlife and vegetation. The mountain's runoff also contributes to the overall water supply in the region, supporting the diverse ecosystem of the Pacific Ranges.

While Seven Fingered Jack does not hold any specific legends or folklore, its name has become a point of intrigue among mountaineers and locals. The origin of the name is not entirely clear, but it is believed to have been named by early explorers or Indigenous peoples who were captivated by its unique silhouette. The mountain's rugged beauty continues to attract adventurers seeking both a physical and spiritual connection with the awe-inspiring nature of the Pacific Ranges.
