Niblock mount

The mount Niblock is a mountain of the National park Banff close to the Lac Louise. It was named thus in 1904, in the honor of John Niblock, a superintendent of the the Canadian Pacific. Niblock was one of the first to promote tourism in the Rock ones and influenced the nomination of certain stations of the Peaceful Canadian in Canada of the West.

The Niblock mount is a place appreciated by the mountaineers in the area of the lake Louise, and its rise is often accompanied by that of the Mont Whyte (2 983m), although this last is of a higher difficulty. The best period of the year to climb the Niblock mount is from July to September when the traditional ways are deprived of snow. The risks of avalanche in spring and the autumn are very high.
