Mount Thiassi
Mount Thiassi is a mountain summit located in the Thiassi Range of the Coast Mountains, in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is the third-highest point in the Thiassi Range. Mount Thiassi is situated northwest of Pemberton, and south-southwest of Mount Vayu, which is its nearest higher peak. Precipitation runoff from the peak and meltwater from unnamed glaciers on its slopes drain into tributaries of the Lillooet, Bridge, and Hurley Rivers. The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1965 by Dick Culbert and Alice Purdey. The mountain's name was submitted by this first ascent party to commemorate Thiassi, the god of storms according to Norse mythology. The name was officially adopted June 22, 1967, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
