Outcast

Outcast Peak 2435m Prominence: 305m Located on the main Howson Spine running N from Howson Peak. The peak has a steep rocky western face. There is a small butress on this face. It drops into Nilah Creek. The east side of the peak only sticks up a 100 m or so above the glacier. This peak was originally named Outcast peak, by Glenn Woodsworth and party, who made many first ascents in this area in 1962. According to Glenn, it is documented as such in Culberts Guide and the CAJ. It is also referred to as Telkwa peak by Christoph Dietzfelbinger, who guides in the area and operates the Bernie Glacier Chalet. So which name to use The peak sits at the head of the Telkwa River, but its not in the Telkwa Range. OUtcast seems the better choice: it is descriptive (the peak appears isolated) and it avoids confusion with the Telkwa Range to the east.
