Cirque Peak is a 2531abbr=offNaNabbr=off mountain summit located in the Cayoosh Range of the Lillooet Ranges, in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is situated 190NaN0 northeast of Pemberton, 4.40NaN0 west-northwest of Cayoosh Mountain, 3.20NaN0 east-southeast of Mount Gardiner, and immediately east of the Place Glacier.[3] The mountain's cirque name, which describes the shape of the peak, was submitted by mountaineer Karl Ricker of the Alpine Club of Canada. The name was officially adopted on January 23, 1979, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[4] Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into tributaries of the Fraser River.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Cirque Peak is located in a subarctic climate zone of western North America.[5] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall. As a result, the Coast Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Temperatures can drop below with wind chill factors below . The months July through September offer the most favorable weather for climbing Cirque Peak.
