Mount Queen Mary is located 85 km southwest of Destruction Bay, Yukon. The mountain was named in 1935, along with the nearby Mount King George, for George V’s and Queen Mary's silver jubilee, or 25 years of rule. Although large, the mountain has easy angle aspects, in particular from the north. The first ascent took place in 1961, when a seven-person team from Seattle climbed the northeast ridge. The west ridge was first climbed in 1978 by a Canadian team including a dog.
