Five Fingers Group

For other uses see 5 Fingers (disambiguation)

The Five Fingers Group (also known as The Five Fingers) is a group of summits on the divide between Pitt Lake and Coquitlam Lake and north of Widgeon Lake, in British Columbia, Canada^[1][2]. The nearest populated area is Coquitlam. The peaks, all part of the same massif, are named for the fingers of a hand, but none of the names are official^[3][4][5][3]

The area is extremely remote and inaccessible.

The peaks are:

• Middle Finger (mountain) 1,890 m (6,201 ft), the highest
• The Thumb (mountain) 1,815 m (5,955 ft)
• The Forefinger (mountain) 1,741 m (5,712 ft)
• Little Finger (mountain) 1,732 m (5,682 ft)
