Mount Wilbur is a prominent peak located in the heart of Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. Plainly visible from the region of Many Glacier, the peak rises over 4,500 feet above Swiftcurrent Lake and is a steep pyramid on three sides. The west slopes of the peak join to ridges along the Continental Divide. Much of the climbing routes are rated at class 4 to 5, with some only used once. The sedimentary rock of the mountains makes for often poor anchoring points and enhances the difficulty.
