Walter Peak - Lyell 4 or L4 - is the fourth highest of five distinct subpeaks on Mount Lyell, three of which are located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia (Christian, Walter and Ernest Peaks). It was named in 1972 by Sydney R. Vallance after Walter Feuz, an early mountain guide in the Rockies.[3] [1]
"Walter Feuz (1894-1986) never took out an official guide's license since he was underage when he left his family home in Interlaken, CH, but was trained up for the work by his older brothers, Edward, Jr. and Ernest."[4]
Due to the close proximity of this peak to the central and highest peak (0.6 km (0.4 mi)), see Mount Lyell for geology and climate.
